I was just perusing my Strava history this morning (as you do) and saw a disheartening statistic for May – on the whole, the month was well below my mileage and active hours range when compared to April. This infuriated me, to be honest, and makes me feel like I’m capable of so much more. It got my attention, for sure! So I’ll be attacking this week’s workouts with that in mind.

When looking at said Strava history, then, it’s no surprise that my assessment week didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. I didn’t bomb – I just didn’t improve very much. This just gives me fuel to double down on both intensity and fidelity over the coming month – and it starts this week!

Here’s what I’ve got on the docket.

Monday: We start this week with an hourlong Threshold Intervals workout on the bike, followed by a 25-minute easy run. My dad is wrapped up in work early this week so I’ll do this one solo, but am looking forward to our reunion on Thursday! (See below.)

Tuesday: Next up is some pool time, with a Threshold 125s workout on the docket. I’ve been faithful to my swimming lately and look forward to keeping up the streak!

Wednesday: Midweek brings a 45-minute fartlek run workout, which I’ll probably do at the Y.

Thursday: I’ll ride on Zwift with my dad for an hourlong easy ride on Thursday, where I’m really looking forward to catching up with him. We haven’t had a chance to chat much lately so this will really be great!

Friday: Descending 75s cap off the workweek in the pool. Not my favorite workout, but I’ll take it!

Saturday: I’ve got a 1:15 threshold and hold bike workout, followed by a 20-minute brick run. If the weather is nice I’ll do the bike workout outside, which will throw off the letter if not the spirit of the law. 😉 

Sunday: I’ll finish the week with a 50-minute “Long Run” – which as y’all know I put in quotes because it doesn’t feel all that long for a Sunday run! But I’m trusting the process and know the time will eventually tick back up. 

Have a great week, y’all!
