Earlier this week I was told that I need to slow things down a little bit and realize that zone 2 is my friend. I am so glad I took that advice to heart. I have had a fantastic week keeping things slow and easy in zone two. I have been able to actually make some progress towards increasing my endurance without having my heart explode. I may be training at the speed of a Fat Ass, but I am now completing my workouts strong like a Bad Ass!

Glad to hear of your progress!
Here's a classic article with a cookie cutter Base-Build-Taper training plan:
Joe Friel on Periodization
Anyway, you have the idea. Some folks can do base alone for a season!
that's great to read :)
Super!!!! Are you able stick to zone 2 in the water as well?
That's fantastic! Keep up the good work! How strange is it to go *slower* and feel *stronger*? Talk about the reverse of convention. This is that great period of time where you can build up your endurance over longer and longer periods, and then brag about them at cocktail parties!
:)
Right there with ya brotha'.
slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
