Chrissie Wellington's training regime

Postby jamix » Tue Jan 21, 2014 8:30 am

Bought her book "Without Limits";

This woman is definitely out of this world, but not because of her aerobic engine or achievments; She has a capacity for work/recovery that must match the Wolverine from X-men if this really is her training regime (go to the bottom of the page);

Way to much Time-trial workouts and Intervals for anyone except her to handle. Surprisingly a lot of swimming volume too.

Her previous coach Brett Sutton sounds crazy unless maybe English isn't his first language. However apparantly when Wellington started working with him, Sutton told the other athletes to treat her badly in order to toughen her up emotionally.
2013 GOALS:

- Compete in the "Early Bird Sprint Triathlon" in May
- Run a 5km pb during the "Bushtukah Canada Day Road Race"
- Complete an Olympic distance triathlon
- Cycle > 33 km / hr during the cycle portion of a Sprint Triathlon.
- Stay healthy and happy

Races

April 28th: Manotick 10km (40:16)
May 18th: Ottawa Early Bird Sprint Triathlon (DNF)
June 8th: Riverkeeper SuperSprint (2nd overall)
July 1st: Bushtukah Canada Day 5km (18:37)

I love Chrissie - and her attitude. I follow her on Twitter.

She is now basically retired, and an ambassador for the sport. She has also actively been trying to establish a female Tour de France.

Give her a follow!

Don't use twitter. Perhaps she wants a female Tour De France so she can win at something else :shifty: ???
