Base Training - Enjoy the outside

It's Spring and it's beautiful outside... Let's get outdoors and have some fun!  Don't worry, going slow right now is EXACTLY the right thing to be doing!!!!... Below are a couple hints at a faster future race with less injury...

• Start Eating right (Balanced meals, with healthy protions)
• Get a heart-rate monitor if you can (Keep your HR at 135 - 140) - yes this means walking quite a bit for many of you! - A healthy heart means better stamina and oxygen to the muscles later
• Run slow and Bike slow and start to build some endurance.
• Be patient and try to enjoy your bike and run... It's slow... Bring some music with you but be careful on the streets
• This is a good time to bring the kids or dog because it's slow enough they can keep up....  (Or kids, it's a good time to bring your mom/dad or little bro's or sis's).

Find enjoyment in this phase of your training... GET OUTSIDE and ENJOY YOURSELF...

Train Hard, Race Hard
