IMLP Training Recap – Week 1

December 14, 2015 by Kate 2 Comments

Week 1 of training is done! I am tired. Gahhhhh! I came down with a cold on day 2, and I did not complete all of my assigned workouts this week. If you know me, you may know I took some time off in November and fully embraced ‘the calm before the training storm’. I’m beginning to rethink that approach, as I can already feel acid accumulating in my legs from today’s workout. Taking a full month off may not have been my wisest decision…

Not to worry, I’m sure my body will adjust in a couple of weeks.

Week 1 Workouts:

  • Monday: Off / Michael’s biz holiday partySpin Class with Laura 12.2015
  • Tuesday: AM spin / PM run and stretching – MY FIRST 2-a-day!
  • Wednesday: Off (was meant to swim, but had a cold, so went to bed instead)
  • Thursday: AM spin
  • Friday: Off / I received Book of Mormon Tickets for my birthday back in September and finally got to see the show! It was great.
  • Saturday: 90 minute ride with my old tri team and core (see photo)
  • Sunday: 30 minute ride and 60 minute run

Total: 6 hours, 30 minutes of training

 

Plan for Week 2 (December 14):

My focus this week will be getting back into the pool (hopefully to remind myself that I can, in fact, swim) and getting in all of my strength workouts. 3 of the 4 strength workouts are 10 minute core workouts so it’s just a matter of making them a habit. I have no excuse for missing them!

  • Monday: Swim (60 mins) & strength (40 mins)
  • Tuesday: Run (60 mins) & strength (10 mins)
  • Wednesday: Endurance swim (60 mins)
  • Thursday: Bike (60 mins) & strength (10 mins)
  • Friday: Rest
  • Saturday: Endurance Bike (90 mins)
  • Sunday: Swim (60 mins), Run (60 mins), Strength (10 mins)

Total: 9 hours, 10 minutes of training

Despite some of the challenges I had this week, it feels wonderful to be back in the saddle and ‘in pursuit’ of something big and audacious!

    I missed my swim this week too due to travel. I really miss it! Looking forward to a full week of workouts myself this week. Book of Mormon looks so funny I still haven’t seen it yet!
