Aerobic Progressions

The wonders of Aerobic progression. Everything so far has been aerobic base work.....HR ceiling the 140, strength and big gear work, increasing capilarization, efficiency and the engine. We've been doing a run test every couple of weeks since January and the numbers are interesting....2 miles on the track at HR in mid 130's....here is the progression:

Beginning January- 138- 8:00/mile
Mid January--------137-7:30/mile
Beginning February-138- 7:04/mile
Mid February-------135- 6:55/mile
Beginning March----135- 6:43/mile

No work yet over 140 HR, legs feel slightly uncoordinated but that will change with some speedier work which is on the horizon. The goal is to see how fast we can get while staying purely aerobic and well under the aerobic threshold. Three more weeks of this.

Stanley Cup'in

This weekend Finlayson took a ride in the stanley cup. He's already being scouted by several NHL teams and we have re-mortgaged the house to pay for his training. I know he's only 11 days old but it's important to start the ball rolling early these days. We have him on a rigorous training schedule, mostly in the weight room doing max efforts. Some early morning cardio as well. He says that he doesn't actually like hockey and that he would rather play with his friends but I know he is "just saying that" to get out of the workload......he'll thank me when he's older and has accomplished all the things that his dad had in mind for him.
