I got into a good rhythm this week. (Starting out with a brand new perspective on swimming probably helped! Thank you Total Immersion!!) This week was 42% running (see stats at bottom), which also probably helped. And, I’m getting used to fitting in 3 different sports of training.
Sunday – I attended a swim clinic. This was a key piece of my attitude transformation about swim. Read more about that here. After the clinic, I did a swim session.
Wu – 50 right left; 50 shark fin; 50 383 side kick = 150m
Workout -2 x 1000; 25% bi; did it! Was practicing long, smooth, rolling strokes = 2000m
Cd – 100 kick with arm figure 8s; 50 swim with fists = 150m
= 85 minutes
Monday – Cycling class. = 60 minutes
Tuesday – 45 min run. = 45 minutes
Wednesday – Fit it all in pieces into my morning! Ran 15 minutes, then took a call. Then TabataFusion class. Next did some work, then made my way to the pool for a session consisting mostly of a 750m run. See details below…
Wu – 50 right left; 50 catch ups; 50 383 side kick; 50 kick w figure 8s = 200m
Workout – 750m; 25% bi = 750m
Cd – 100 kick on back; 100 kick = 200m
= 115 minutes
Thursday – Ran 45 minutes outside! So nice, probably went a little too fast. 🙂 I ended up skipping my swim session in the afternoon. I had too much work to handle in a timely fashion, and although I hate skipping workouts, it felt better to handle the time-sensitive work. = 45 minutes
Friday – Ran 45 minutes prior to morning meeting. Ran outside. Again, felt great and was a tiny bit fast! In the afternoon, did a 75 minute bike ride on the trainer in the basement. I did the “upper” side of my training plan recommendations for today, since I skipped the swim session the day before. (Plan said 30 to 45 min run and 60 to 75 min bike). = 120 minutes
Saturday – 80 minute run. Met up with my “running moms” friends half way through, then finished up 15 more minutes after I ran with them, and was still able to get some Starbucks time with them. = 80 minutes
TOTAL = 550 minutes = 9 hours, 10 minutes
- Swim – 125 minutes – 23%
- Bike – 135 minutes – 25%
- Run – 230 minutes – 42%
- Strength – 60 minutes – 11%
