Let's Plan!

Hey Friends!
Hope you are all well-I am crazy busy and so I am going to keep it short...but you know what they say...fail to plan and plan to fail, so let's plan...to succeed (no swim for me this week, my shoulder is out)!
Here we go:
M (I am babysitting my boss' kids...dear god) Weight training and some sort of short cardio
T: Long run
W: Spin am; Weights pm
Th: Long run
F: Bike and sprints
S: 5k run...maybe weights
Su: Looong bike
Kick *kitten* all (and then tell me about it!)

    I live what must be the most inconsistent and unpredictable life in human existence. If I can get in my morning hourly workouts - I don't even care what it is! - the rest of the day is gravy on the goose. Skip those, and I'm always fighting an uphill battle.

    For me, structure is failure, while fluidity is a fighting chance for success. That way I can adapt as I go.

    Enjoy your week!

    Ok, this is week one of pre-training. I'm going to see how this works for me and then move into a 13 wk sprint training program.

    Monday: Swim 20 mins, strength train
    Tuesday: off
    Wednesday: Bike 30 mins, strength train
    Thursday: Run 30 mins
    Friday: Swim 30, strength
    Saturday: Doing a 5K mud run :)
    Sunday: Bike 30 mins, strength train

    I'm pretty sure swimming and strength training are not going to be easy to do on the same day, so I'll likely change that next week, but that's how I worked it out this week. Wish me luck!

    Ok this is me:

    Monday - 60 min spin (done!)
    Tuesday - 1500m swim drills
    Wednesday - 3m run, 45min spin
    Thursday - 18K bike (outside in the hopefully still glorious sunshine)
    Friday - Weight training, run, spin, swim (SUPER WORK OUT!)
    Saturday - 1800K swim drills
    Sunday - 10K bike (outside_, 3K run

    I'm having a minor freak out because my tri that's coming up in TWO WEEKS turns out to have a bike leg that is 3.6K longer than advertised. Yipes. Not good news for me because biking is my weakest discipline by far. Hence adding some extra bike action this week!

    That distance(a couple miles) is nothing to get freaked out about. I promise!

    Great weekly plans everyone. I was not planning on being so tight this week from the race.

    Mon slow walk, rest up...stretch
    Tues...rebelling quads and piriformis easy swim and stretch
    Wed...still rebelling...stretch..stretch...stretch and chi walking class tonight
    Thurs...massage ahhhhhh!
    I'll figure out the rest of the week as I go...Have a great week everyone!

    @Alyssa hope the shoulder is better soon!
    @symegeer I agree, the extra mileage is nothing to be worried about. I find once I was racing, I move faster than my training pace. Relax, you only get a first sprint tri,enjoy the experience!

    @Sonya good luck with the mud run this weekend!
