Polar Performance Report: January 2016

New features EVERYWHERE on this blog!

I am rolling out a few new ones as the month progresses, but one thing I wanted to start doing is a Performance Report at the end of the month. I’m a little late to the game because January totally and completely got away on me but without further ado…

JANUARY TRAINING

RUN STATS: 278 KM

Thoughts:

This month was epic. I began it with a run in California and ended it with a run in Rockwood Conservation Area. I was able to do a squillion different rave runs and it was out of this world amazing.

I also brought back speed work at the end of this month. It has been a new challenge and I am excited to see how my body adapts.

I have been good with cross training with 1/5th of my workouts being XC skiing or cycling. My heart rate zones have been exactly where I want them. Things are all set up for a successful February.

I used the Polar V800 to track all of my workout data this month. 

Next Month:

I am focusing on speed work with 2 sessions a week to build for my spring races. I will be competing in a number of different races in February including the Symons Snowshoe Race, the 8 KM Refridgee-eighter and the Ice Cube Arctic Triple Relay and Triathlon. It’s going to be hard to top January, but I have some incredible events planned for February.

You can follow any of my training sessions on strava.
