You can now find Coach P over here.

Folks, it’s with a heavy heart that I need to stop posting here. I love this blog. I love reading about that guy, Patrick, in 2005, who was trying to figure things out (still is!!). But I need to move on. I currently have a few blogs going on, and I need to consolidate them.

As of today, 4/10/2008, you can find my coaching blog here and my training blog here.

See you on the Internets!

One of the biggest issues I have with Ironman training is the length of time it takes me to warm up for each and every session as the fatigue builds. This has become more of an issue now that I am training under the Endurance Nation set of rules: good quality work WORKS…garbage miles belong, well, in the garbage.

That said, I have gotten crazy faster/fitter under this new methodology. I am totally psyched about it, but have to admit that while the work WORKS, all this work has me beat. I am taking longer and longer to warm up, and while I will continue as long as I can hit main set targets before I back down, I think that I am slowly moving away from the short, well-executed workout to the long-to-warmup-then-giterdun approach.

Nothing wrong with this, just something that popped up. As I have a few more cycles to go before IMCDA (and baby pending), fatigue will take on a whole new meaning soon enough!!

See you on the roads…

It’s March in New England, and that means one thing: torture.  One day it’s nice, sunny and 50 degrees…the next is 32 with snow/rain/hail (as in today).  Keeping to a regular exercise program is hard enough, forget having to work around the weather!  Time to start dreaming of riding in CA or FL or somewhere warm…and to test out how long I can spend on my trainer without going insane!!!

Hope you are keeping the faith (if you ain’t, don’t tell me!!!),
