Full Throttle Endurance Racing | Swim\Run | Chelsea Piers

Today was day 1 of Full Throttle training. We were in the pool and on indoor track focusing on technique mostly. That said, I'm in terrible swimming shape so the workout was closer to controlled drowning than swimming. It's amazing how quickly the swimming muscles go after 3 months of just running.

I went pretty hard on the run, relative to most of the team, because I wanted to get some good work in today. I ran five miles on the indoor track. The first three and a half miles were at a 7:00-7:15/mile pace with the last mile and a half cool down at a 8:30/mile pace.
