I'm gearing up for my first half ironman! A torn achilles last fall sidelined me from a bunch of running races so I've focused on biking and swimming, and need to pick up the intensity and distances.  Hopefully with the help of Vega I'll be injury free and have quick recoveries! And be inspired by the amazing Mr. Brazier :)

My goal for this spring is to step up my workouts.  I plan to include running, weights and plyometrics.  I plan on running a 5k  and mud run next month and then a 10k, working my way up to a half marathon.  I am a massage therapist and often volunteer at running events and just want to experience that accomplishment myself.  I have been working out for years but never been in the shape I want to be in so I think setting a goal like this will help me get there.

With our second child (my first son) due the first week of July, my spring trainging goal is to get in peak Dad shape so that I'm full of strength and energy for the delivery and the weeks that follow.  I have a weekly regimen that consists of strength training (1 day for each major muscle group, two days for the minors), interval cardio, and stretching/yoga.  I'm just trying to get in the best all-around condition possible.

My spring goal is to set a personal record in the 10k. About 5 more weeks of workouts left. Gotta stick to my goal paces and improve my finishing speed. I'm about halfway through my first jar of Vega sport protein and I'm feeling stronger already! I use the preworkout energizer before my races and will do so again before my next one. Thanks Brenden and Vega for improving my training this season (I have seriously cut down on the amount of inflammation)

After getting over a nasty bug for the last 2 weeks, I decided to clean it all out! Now that I'm feeling more normal, I'm getting back into it all (weights & running). At first, this month was going to be all about getting my time down & distance up for my very first 1/2 Marathon in June, but since then I've gotten the crazy courage to sign up for a 10K this month! So this month is all about learing how to fuel properly so that I can run faster, stronger & longer! (while staying healthy & vegan). I don't know much about recovery besides that it's important, fueling fun tho! Oh yes, I also have a 5k in June that I'm doing with my 8yr old. We're aiming at finishing around 26 min.... wish us luck!!!

so, to recap, my goal for May is to stay healthy while getting my time down, distance up & learn how to fuel & recover properly. All this in preparation for my 10k this month (& my very soon in the future 1/2 marathon!!!!)

I started running in March, and am training for the Medoc Marathon (the one in Bordeaux France, where everyone runs in costumes and there's wine at the rest stops -- along with water, of course). France is a bit behind in the healthy protein shake department, so I'm really glad to have found someone who distributes Vega products to me in Paris. Having a great time running around town in training!

My Spring Training Goal is to closer analyze my training progress, and to emphasize proper pre/post-training fuel intake.

Currently training for my first ever Ironman race.  Pretty much everyday of the week I'm crushing out the miles.  Biking, running, and swimming have been my life for the past 4 years as I've worked towards this big goal hitting all the milestones along the way.  The Ironman training also coincides well with all the rock climbing I do as well.  This year's goal is to climb a 5.12 before the end of the season.  Go big or go home is what I always say.

I'm doing the Go Commando race in June. It's one of those awesome obstacle races where I get to run through mud and jump over fire! I also just started a cleanse this month. No alcohol, very small amount of caffeine (more in the form of tea) and eating fruits and vegetables with every meal!

My spring training goal is to use the few weeks of down time between my first race of the season (a culmination of 16 weeks of training) and the beginning of June (when I start my 20 week training plan leading up to my first marathon) to cement in place a do-able but challenging plan incorporating fitness, nutrition, and rest while putting together my rough draft for 2013 (project: triathlon)....so, in other words: not much ;-)

My Spring Training Goal is to hone my beach body. I want to lean out a bit more, then focus on sculpting & toning, and plan to do so by WORKING FOR IT! I'm going to continue feeding my body with healing foods, and bump up my supplement routine aaaand hopefully restock my Vega Sports nutrition;)

I'm recovering from a shoulder injury that has me fairly bummed.  Plenty of ice, rest, and good nutrition should go a long way to healing.

I'm not letting the shoulder get in the way of my overall goals though.  I will be doing a mix of lower body and abs to really come back super strong in those two sections. 

I am hoping to be prepared for a triathlon in late summer.  Dedication is needed.
