Early morning training sessions

As my official training programme starts in about 10 days time, I thought I'd start to get myself conditioned to the schedule. During the week it mostly consists of 45 minute run, cycle or swim sessions, with no more than 3 days between a particular discipline, followed up with a long run and cycle at the weekend.

As far as the swimming is concerned, I am only concentrating on technique at the moment, with my fitness coming from the other activities. The run and cycling sessions are all determined by time as opposed to distance, with strict heart rate zones being crucial to ensure that I'm working for optimal gains for the time and effort expended.

Why work harder than necessary and stress your body, which will effect your future training and competition performance? http://goo.gl/2XNvV

Why train for longer than is necessary and waste valuable time?

Careful planning and preparation is the key to success in all walks of life. Train smarter not harder.
