My twice a week speed workouts continued this week with the addition of a race at Wash. U. on Saturday. I felt good this week, and considering my performance at the meet I think the plan and it’s one ANT workout and one interval session a week is working well. I still have a lot of fitness from cross and skiing, but my current training plan is only increasing my conditioning. During hard workouts I recover very quickly between intervals, and my morning resting heart rate is now 38 BPM while my day time resting heart rate is at 52 BPM. I think the addition of the biking on my wind trainer a few times a week is helping me to recover from my speed workouts and is helping my add additional base as well.
