Training Updates Feb 10, 2011

It's already been 41 days into the new year, and I don't feel like I've accomplished a whole lot.  I mean sure school's started and I've been running a lot in the new year, but it just feels like the year is zipping along super quickly.  Without further ado, lets go to what's happened in the training lives of Jess and Kell

Jess
Well last time I checked when I was leaving the gym, Jess was putting in some solid time on the bike.  Biking is actualy surprisingly helpful in getting your speed up, and I definitely noticed that coming off the biking season and going into run time.  But Jess should hopefully post something here as well, i've asked her to put up a post this week so she's got a few days.

Kel
This week I've managed to start getting back into the groove of thing.  Chinese new year has now passed us by which is awesome for allowing me to get back into training.  I've put in some good runs this week, I've come to the conclusion that intervals have, do and always will suck.  The only thing that changes is how fast you run them, and by extension how much less you think they suck.  Unfortunately intervals will always hate you too.  One way to combat this crappiness is compression gear, so look for an article to pop up soon regarding that and my thoughts so far on using it.  The weather is starting to warm up which means the return of outdoor running which I'm a huge fan of.  Now just to find the time to go and do it.
