well here it is almost December and finally I have a plan for training for IMC.
last year I really enjoyed my training plan ( I had a coach) but I can't afford that this year- I was struggling with trying to decide if I should just repeat what I did last year or try something new.
last year was ok but not a resounding success so after much debate ( in my head ) I decided with a new plan..so now I am excited!!
This plan requires a lot more thinking from me and active participation in the decision making..what I like about it is the philosophy of " Train the weakness, race the strength". I like that the plan looks at what MY weaknesses are and makes a plan for that- nothing generic.
It does require some testing ( to learn what the weaknesses are) and some new equipment so there is an expense to that.
I think this will be great though the downside is that the plan is not structured in the usual way..( and I like structure) but the good thing is I think I will learn a lot about my body and its physiology..so that is exciting. The other motto of this plan that I like is "no brain no gain" meaning that every workout should be trying to address a specific weakness and not just doing something for the sake of doing it- so you have to think more!
Anyway I hope it works:)
