24 weeks into my training with Aidan

Looking back almost 6 months ago when I started working with Aidan, I trained 9 to 11 hours per week. I am now at around 14 to 18 hours and am asking for more! Aidan wouldn't do it as he knows better!
My joints and knees have to get used to the pounding when running on hard surface. I'm currently running on average 30 miles per week.
The biking is going great. from 90 miles on a weekly basis when I first started, I bumped it up to 160 to 190 miles on average, coming into the weekend with close to 85 miles under the belt! It might sound like a lot to some, but I feel like I can do more, and will be doing more - It's just a matter of time before I get completely immersed into my Ironman Training! and I CAN'T wait!

First test race with a 13.1 run in Queens, NY in the bitter cold NY weather.

Great start of the season! looking forward to adding 1.2M swim and 56M bike ride before running the 13.1M of the half distance triathlon in Bassman River, NJ on May 5th!
