Colorado Sun Performance is a coaching company for those that would like a little guidance, advice, or maybe a bit more help with their triathlon needs. But it's not just triathlons...it includes running, cycling, swimming, basketball, even rugby training. But for now let's focus on the running, cause it's easier to talk about all at once.
I am currently training myself for a Half Marathon in Lone Tree, Colorado in the beginning of November. The last 13.1 miles I ran was in two hours and ten minutes. A solid performance by my standards for a 32 year old who sometimes has one too many servings at dinner or a few extra beverages out with friends. It's the enjoyment of the activity, day in and day out, that draws me back. Rain or shine (but hopefully more shine) the training runs keep coming and signal one step closer to completion of the task. Most of the runs are 5-8 miles at an easy pace, which honestly is kind of frustrating cause sometimes you just want to go FAST. But sometimes you shouldn't, and it's a mental battle to keep the heart rate down during some of these runs when it feels so good to pick up the pace.
At this point, the training is beginning. A learning curve for myself and my athletes, we are understanding each other's preferences, desired communication method, and idiosyncrasies. Between the books, podcasts, and real life training we should be able to put some good content down. I'm never opposed to learning from someone in any walk of life, so leave a comment below and let's get the discussion rollin'.
