Week 29 – fitting it in, making it work

February 20, 2016 by Amy Riley Leave a Comment

cycling aloneThe schedule wasn’t quite just flowing into place this week. I had to do some back-and-forth and sessions alone in the cycling room to work it all out!

Sunday – Off. This was good for my ankles and shins to have a day off. I was feeling some soreness and twinges from all the cycling the week before. I did some concentrated foam rolling and calf stretching for a few days and am feeling good!

Monday – Swim session with McKenzie. The kids had the day off of school, and Jake had a playdate in the morning, so McKenzie and I headed to the pool to swim together. I warmed up and then did 6 x 200. McKenzie was swimming, and swimming right past or under me, and messing around with my fins. Then, she decided she was done swimming and sat on the edge of the pool. Soon after she got the brilliant idea to help me prepare for open swims. So, when I’d swim past her she’d kick her legs and splash me. It was actually some good practice for a few laps. Then, it got more and more wavey and splashy. I was cracking up. I couldn’t even swim in a straight line or breathe at all when I passed her. = 45 minutes

Tuesday – 60 min bike in cycling studio on my own, followed by 20 minute run. = 80 minutes

Wednesday – Swim 40 minutes Main set = 2 x 300. Then I did a call (all wet in the gym café sitting on a towel), followed by a 30 minute run. (I was supposed to do a 25 minute run, run I tacked on 5 extra minutes since I didn’t do the workouts back-to-back). Making it work! = 70 minutes

Thursday – Biked 10 minutes (after a call and before the group strength class I wanted to do.) Full body architect class. Then jumped back on the bike for 30 minutes (before I ran down to the locker room for my next call). = 100 minutes

Friday – 50 minutes on bike in cycling studio by myself (see pic!), followed by swim session. Main set = 2 x 500m. = 100 minutes

Saturday – 6 miles fast. It was unseasonably warm out, I was hot! I took a couple breaks, yet the 6 miles of running time averaged 8:53. That’s not race fast for me, yet pretty fast. = 60 minutes

TOTAL = 455 minutes = 7 hours, 35 minutes

  • Swim – 135 minutes – 30%
  • Bike – 150 minutes – 33%
  • Run – 110 minutes – 24%
  • Strength – 60 minutes – 13%
