Weekly Training Log

Monday:

TRX

Tuesday:

RUN: 4x1200 (5:00-5:10) - Complete - pushed the upper limit of the time but I made it.

SWIM: 2050 decent -I did not get to the pool today

Wednesday:

BIKE: 1:00 Tempo Intervals

I don’t get traditional weekends with my family but sometimes I get to sneak away…even if it’s just for a night, to enjoy a little R&R with the kids. Now that they’re a little older and I don’t have to chase after toddlers it actually can be a relaxing night away.

Thursday:

RUN: 3x10:00 Threshold - thanks to the treadmill at the hotel, I was able to get this in AND get a night away with the kids. I think all the trainer rides prepared me well for a treadmill tempo…just lock it in and go!

I spent some time chatting with John Williams and Rich Ryan, of the new podcast Reinforced Running , about my bakery and our running community and I gave them the low down of how it all started. It could be a good distraction during your next long run!

Friday:

BIKE: 48:00 Build

SWIM: 2000 Recovery

Saturday:

RUN: 1:30

45:00 easy

15:00 MP

15:00 HMP

10:00 10K

5:00 Recover

I was oddly excited about this workout in my long run. I really didn’t think I was capable of completing it but I was eager to find out how close I could get especially after what I would consider a ‘hell week’ of training. The last 10 minutes at 10K was grueling but I had a friendly face join me with 6:00 left. It was all I needed to get a little boost to finish the workout as planned. The marathon and half marathon paces were easier than I thought they would be. I can’t wait to see how all the training pays off this fall.

Sunday:

BIKE: 1:10 - Early ride with Barb out on the streets of Montclair. Slowly getting used to being out there with cars and people and CARS again.

Beach Day! We saw an opportunity and we went for it!!!
