I have been training a lot more since I now have a coach setting up my workout schedule. I have lost 15lbs since I started training with the new workouts in July. I still want to lose another 10lbs to get to my goal weight for the Ironman in November.
Some days I just don't feel like doing the workout. But I have not missed a scheduled workout yet and I don't plan to. With demands of work and family I have had to adjust my training times a bit but I haven't missed a workout yet!
One of the hardest parts of training isn't the physical part, but the mental part. Having to get up on a Saturday morning and bike for 35-40 miles and then run 5miles is tough. Mentally I have to wrap my brain around the increase in distance and time. Riding and running for 3-4 hours gives you a lot of time to think. So while my body is getting physically stronger with the increased training volume I am also getting mentally stronger. I've got to get to the point where I can honestly believe that I can swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles. I am not at that point yet but I am getting closer everyday.
