My Triathlon Training Schedule for This Week

Tuesday:  Cycle with the group from Franco's that rolls at 5:50am, they will ride 20 miles. Its an out and back route, I'll probable link up with them too and run a brick after for a couple miles. Before you hook up with the group, swim for 45 minutes. Do a 10 lap easy warm up, continuous if possible. get a kickboard and do that for 12 laps. If you have fins, swim freestyle with fins for 12 laps, put a buoy in between your thighs and swim 12 laps. remember, try to stay continuous between blocks. Then, if you can, since you will be good and warm, swim 24 straight laps. Let me know how you do, and don't miss your ride!  You'll be back to the club by 7am, DO IT!  I'll see you out there!

Wednesday:  Go on the golf course in Beau Chene for a run in the dark and watching the sun come up, get in as much time as you can, stay at AB, and toy with moving up to AT a few times, if you feel great there, stay there  for as long as possible and repeat as many times as you can.

Thursday:  Swim 36 laps at a comfortable perfect technique pace, lift, yoga/flexibility/YOGA if you can, CORE EVERYDAY (to work the core, think: front back lower upper, rotational, sides)!

Friday:  Spin until you can't,  just go with the teachers lead, then go outside and get a 25 minute AT run in.  I promise this will not be fun, but you get to take a well deserved break, just DO IT with that in mind!

Weekend:  Try to stay active, but take a couple days off to let your body compensate for what you've been doing lately.  Try to get something in while on vacation, just one day, your choice, keep doing core and stretch for at LEAST 10-20 minutes per day, taking long deep breaths while doing so.

KEEP ALL THOSE TIMES YOU WERE IN A BAD MOOD AFTER THE TRIATHLONS INSTEAD OF ENJOYING YOURSELF SO THAT WHEN WE DO THE NEXT ONE YOU CAN PARTY YOUR ASS OFF BECAUSE YOU'VE ATTAINED YOUR GOALS AND WORKED YOUR ASS OFF!  KEEP PUSHING, STAY STRONG, BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT!
