Captain Ed's Journal
July was a great month of training, but as we rolled into August, I knew that training opportunities would be few and far between as I knew that I would spend over 3 weeks of August in the field conducting training with my unit. Despite long hours and working on a reverse schedule (up all night, going to bed in the morning), I believe that I was able to maintain my fitness over this period with 8 or 9 well placed workouts.
In situations like this, where I know that I have to make each workout 'count' I know the workout is going to be intense and I know that I may not get another shot at a workout for 3 or 4 days. This is where MAP is absolutely key. I know that I can go out and crush myself for 45 to 60 minutes and with MAP, I know that I will recover and have very little residual soreness. In fact, at the end of our training at Fort Campbell, KY, we had several hours before our bus left, so rather than lay down for a couple of hours before the bus left, I decided to go out for a little run. I ran longer than I have in two months. I ran over 10 miles at a decent clip and then sat on a bus for 12 hours. I still did not get sore. I took MAP immediately after my run and felt great the rest of the day.
As the month rounds out and are we are complete with training, I feel that I am still at a solid enough base level to continue training for another sprint triathlon at the beginning of September. Thanks MAP and BodyHealth!
