Triathlete Training Workout: Indoor Trainer: Short & Sweaty
For the second month in a row, here is another indoor trainer workout. Just as the track at your local high school is best used for measured efforts and a calculated plan of intervals, so too is the indoor trainer. To maximize it's effectiveness, skip the steady state pedaling for two hours and show up at your trainer with this workout in hand and use the time to focus on improving your pedaling technique, endurance and speed. - 5 min warm up
- 5 min of pedaling drills
- 4 min moderate intensity
- 5 x 30 sec ON (sprint), 30 sec OFF (EZ)
- 2 min EZ
7 x 30 ON, 30 OFF - 2 min EZ
- 4 min moderate intensity
- 5 x 20 OFF, 40 sec ON
- 5 min cool down
Total time = 44 min |

Circle your calendar, Get Out N Play is presenting the Train, Eat, Recover...Repeat Training Camp at Still Waters on June 8th- June 10th. This location in the southeastern part of Connecticut, in Voluntown, is ideally suited for a triathlon training weekend. Swim in a gorgeous pond, bike over rolling rural roads and run on a mix of paved roads and jeep trails. This is a triathlete's dream weekend. Show up with all your gear, rested legs and be ready to train. A key part of training is nutrition and breakfast, lunch and dinner will be prepared on-site. I've been gathering recipes to serve to hungry triathletes. A Get Out N Play camp wouldn't be complete without a little recovery yoga. Still Waters has the perfect set-up, a pavilion overlooking the lake.

Navigating the Cold Season Are your co-workers sick? That doesn't mean you are destined to deal with the sneezing and body aches. With a little attention and self-care you could breeze through the cold season without a knock out.
Prevention: - Sleep Deep - Beef up your immune system with added sleep. Even sleeping in on the weekend might offset those sleep deprived work days.
- Address Stress - Be clear about the stress in your life. Identify those areas that put you into that state. Find a way to take a break and decompress. Your immune system is tuned into those heightened feelings.
- Eat Color - Veggies are packed with immune boosting ingredients. Color and variety is the way to go.
Exposed? - Scrub up - Keep washing those hands, thoroughly.
- Sanitize - Use this for an on-the-go alternative when a sink is not available.
- Travel Wisely - It helps to have a small arsenal of care items at your side. An immune boosting supplement, hot tea and saline spray all help the body when it might be down.
You're sick: - Surrender - Take the day off. Resting can speed your recovery time.
- Warm It Up - Sipping warmed beverages can help relieve symptoms.
- See a Doctor - If symptoms last for longer than 7-10 days you might have an additional issue your body is battling.
