Week 4 is here!

Hey ladies, week 4 is here. I hope you are trying some of these workouts, even if your triathlon date is up in the air.

Mon - OFF
Tue - Run: 30 mins
Wed - Swim: 500 yards
Thu - BRICK: 30 min bike/10 min run/20 min walk
Fri - Swim: 500 yards
Sat - Run: 50 mins
Sun - Bike 20miles, walk 30 minutes

I know it is a lot, if you want I can go back to week one of the plan and we can start there. My triathlon is in the middle of October, maybe if we scaled down to having 2 or 3 days off a week the plan will be easier to fit into our busy days, what do you think?

Week Three

Hello out there! I hope you are doing OK with the training, it is quiet but I know that this time of year is busy for you guys. Here is this weeks schedule:
Mon - OFF
Tue - Run: 30 minutes
Wed - Swim: 400 yards
Thu - BRICK: 30 min bike/10 min run/20 min walk
Fri - Swim: 500 yards
Sat - Run: 40 minutes
Sun - Bike: 15 mins, Walk: 30 min

Focus on finishing each workout strong. Focus on the end goal; crossing the finish line. Focus on how your body feels when you are done with each workout and you know you have accomplished that day's training goal. Be strong, rest when you need to. Most of all, have fun with it!

Week two! Are you ready?

Ok ladies, we are in week two. The workouts get a little tougher and longer with this week, just remember to do the miles/minutes the best you can. We are building endurance.

Mon - OFF
Tue - Run: 30 min
Wed - Swim: 400 yards
Thu - BRICK: 30 min bike, 10 min run, 20 min walk
Fri - Swim: 400 yards
Sat - Run: 40 min
Sun - Bike 15 miles

I have a 5 mile run scheduled for Thursday with a few friends then have a 5k race on Sunday at the OC Fair so I am going to have to move some of this around to fit my schedule. I will most likely run today, swim Tuesday and Wednesday and bike Saturday. I know the bikes are long but try to go somewhere you will be distracted by your surroundings instead of focusing on each mile you are grinding out. This is a hard week but I know we can do it. Good luck and happy training!
