Hey Everyone!

I hope this finds you well and making strides towards your goals!

Speaking of goals, what are your weekly ones? What is one thing you are trying out this week?

I am still a bit sick, but I cannot sit on my butt any longer, it was making me NUTS, so here are my aspired goals for the week:

Workouts:
Monday-35 minute run
Tuesday- swim am; spin pm; weights pm
Wednesday-35 minute run
Thursday-swim am;spin pm; weights pm
Friday-swim am/day off
Saturday-run 30-35 minutes withouth music (they don't let you listen on my tris, so I am going to use this as practise)
Sunday-swim/day off depending on Friday

Food:
I want to be very vigilent of my food intake on the big workout days-at the start of the fall season, I was training way way more than no, but I was eating far too much, so I want to eat cautiously and apropriately so I do not eff up my progress :)

New Goal:
I have also switched my calories down, which I reckon will prompt me to eat my exercise calories, but I think it will enable me to keep things lower...I am going to try anyway.

What about all of you?

What are your goals?

How have things been going?

What have you signed up for?

Have a great one all! Dream big!

    Sounds like great goals for the week. One way to fight through the illness!

    Monday walk 3 miles, weights
    Tues spin 60 min, walk 1 mile
    Wed swim and weights
    Thurs spin 60 min, walk 1 mile
    Fri walk 3 miles, weights
    weekend: bike 12-15 miles outdoors, go hiking, or if weather is bad, walk/swim indoors. I know I should learn to train in the rain, but haven't gotten to that mindset yet! I like to keep my weekend flexible.

    No new goals...just to survive the week :happy: I am hopeful the brick workouts on tues and thurs will not tire me out as much as they did last week.
    I have a 5k on March 24th, and sprint tri's May 20th, Sept 26th and Oct 7th. I want to do a 25 mile ride this year, a 1 mile open swim, and will probably pick up a couple of 5k's

    Hi all!
    Well this is a challenging week because I have a lot of work deadlines and am going out of town for meetings so it's a pared back exercise schedule:

    Monday: Spin 60 mins
    Tuesday: Run 5K
    Wednesday: Weights session and boxing (I know it's not exactly part of my tri training but I love it!) - 60 mins

    Thursday-Tuesday - at least 1 hour walking every day!

    My food goals are to reduce calories on non-workout days and to try to make healthy choices when travelling!

    Good luck with your week everyone!

    Sounds like good goals, mine this week is all about the bike and getting my fitness built up 12 weeks out from Ironman.
    I've also now gone 1 week without coffee, which for me is a lifetime first!

    Here we go:
    Monday: tempo run 30 mins
    Tuesday:1 hour turbo pyramids
    Wednesday: 3000m swim and 1 hour run intervals
    Thursday: 45 minute run and 1 hour coached swim intervals
    Friday: 1 hour turbo pyramids
    Saturday: 1hr 40 minute run
    Sunday: 4hr hilly bike and 20 min transition run.

    Food goals: fill in each day on here and be on or under target calorie target.

    Good luck everyone.

    These look wonderful, everyone!
    I am under the weather again and wanted to make a quick amendment so I am only spinning and doing weights tomorrow-and then I will for sure do the swim on Friday.
    Just trying to be accountable!
    Happy training all!

    Monday: 90 min Bike, 75 min Swim(4000m), Weights and Core
    Tuesday: 60 min Bike
    Wednesday: 60 min Run, 45 min Swim, Weights and Core
    Thursday: 70 min Bike, 45 min Run
    Friday: OFF DAY
    Saturday: 180 min Bike, 30 min Run, 90 min Swim (4500m)
    Sunday: 100 min Run, 45 min Swim

    Almost all days are interval-based training sessions except for today (Tuesday), tomorrow's Swim, and the Bike/Run portion on Saturday.

    It's going to be a rough week but I am excited about the high volume/ high intensity sessions.

    My week got jumbled up a bit, but I ended up making all of the components in yesterday

    2 spin classes
    1 swim
    3 weight sessions
    8 miles walked
    outdoor bike ride yesterday (and likely again today)

    Hope everyone else had a successful week.
