I hit up the gym for an intense 40 minute spin class around noon. I was hoping to swim tonight for 30 mins or so but the pool is still being cleaned. I am disappointed, I was looking forward to getting a good swim in tonight.
Anyway, it opens at 5:00am tomorrow so I'll likely swim and run tomorrow. No CrossFit for me this week due to switching shifts and the tri.
It's coming... 6 days!
I am really happily surprised that I am not sore at all today either. Knee feels fine, feet feel fine, no shin splints, calves fine too. I was expecting at the very least some shin splints from that 8k in my fivefingers but nothing! Amazing!
I have noticed a pretty big increase in my appetite with all of this cardio I have been doing to train for the tri. I am a pretty good eater most of the time anyway, but with all of these extra "kcals" being burned I feel like I could eat almost all day long. I'd like to hear about what others eat when they ramp up their training but I have been eating a lot of "snack foods" but healthy ones, like nuts (macadamia, brazil, almonds), fruit (usually post-training), shakes (vega or whey), and the normal things in my diet like eggs almost every morning for breakfast with extra veggies and toast or flatbread with cashew butter. I feel like I need to snack more in between meals and I usually carry around Kashi bars, Lara bars and fruitsource + veggie bars. After the tri training is finished I would like to carry on with my muscle mass increase plan, by eating small meals every 3 hours or so and ramp up my weight training. I have to admit though I am not hating this cardio stuff, I just like the results of weight training better. :)
