First off, a confession. (Don’t you love when it starts this way?)

This hasn’t been the smoothest training week in the history of training weeks, that’s for sure. Due to work and allergies, I’ve missed several key workouts and my head hasn’t really been in the game. This happens sometimes after a race season – spring racing is now behind us, after all – and while I’m generally of the belief that a bit of a recovery period is OK, I do feel this has stretched on long enough. So this morning I got up and knocked out a workout (see below), and intend to do so for the rest of the week. I’m not going to be so foolish as to think I’ll hit 100% compliance this week, but I’ll strive for progress, at least.

Let’s see what’s on the docket.

Monday: Mondays are usually swim days, but the Y’s pool is always crazy on Memorial Day, so I flipped a few things around and did my 45-minute easy run instead. 

Tuesday: Tuesday morning I’ll do my swim from Monday, an hourlong Broken Ladders workout, and then in the evening I’ll ride with the bike club in lieu of my official bike workout.

Wednesday: I’ve got 45 minutes of intervals for my midweek run workout! I’ll probably knock it out on the treadmill.

Thursday: An hourlong threshold intervals workout on the bike awaits on Thursday, as does a 45-minute strength session at the Row House, which I’ve been sorely neglecting of late.

Friday: We’re back in the pool for Broken 150s on Friday! I love that workout so I’m pumped.

Saturday: I’ve got a 1:15 threshold and hold bike workout scheduled, followed by a 20-minute brick run. I’d like to ride with the TriDot crew, but I don’t think the timing is going to work, alas.

Sunday: I finish out the week with a 50-minute “long” run of threshold repeats. Bring on the long runs again, man!

Have a great week, friends!
