I am in the middle of my “off” season, which means that most of my endurance training is relatively unstructured and low key.  That said, I have committed myself to lifting weights in a more intense and structured way during this off season to try to be as strong as I possibly can going into my new season.

I will age up into the 60-64 age group this season which will make me the “youngest” in my age group and I intend to try to leverage that as much as possible! Protein Extreme Energy and Adrenal Reboot are both playing a huge part in recover and muscle building, allowing me to recover and do quality lifting 3 days a week.  I actually look forward to my weight sessions these days, using up to 3 doses on heavy days and feeling great.

I usually have a scoop of Protein Extreme Energy each morning when I get up  and then another scoop after my workout.  Depending on how hard my workout was and how I’m feeling, I may use a 3rd scoop later in the day.

FYI, even tho I’m not doing any speed training at all, I ran a 5k “fun run” on Sunday; won my age group with a 21:32 (that’s fast by my standards!!!) and felt great.  My marathon was only 5 weeks ago and I am totally recovered and racing…that’s huge!

So far I am scheduled to race the Devilman sprint tri in early may, Eagleman 1/2 IM in early june and the NYC Tri in mid july.  after that I’m not sure exactly what races I will be doing, but I will be starting to think about prepping for Boston in the spring of ‘11 and moving up to full IM later in that season.

Half marathon “fun run” at disney world in early jan.  I’m definitely not training for it…too early in my season.  but I’ll be very interested to see how it feels.
