Yes, the lag in posts is due to being super busy around the house and super busy training. This post is going to be mainly dedicated to training, so sorry to bore anyone looking for some great insight. This past week was my biggest volume week since last summer. I hit some key workouts, and Jim is so great at setting up my week based on my schedule and my needs. (An important aspect in a great coach!) From what I hear, he also is becoming a huge Jeff Probst and Survivor fan!
Just a few details about the week…
Total Hours: 17:30
Swimming: 7000 yds
Bike: 140 miles
Run: 53 miles (second 50+ mile week in the past month!!)
Highlights….
Thursday: I did an hour tempo run, and after a 30 minute warm up, I did 30 minutes at zone 2 pace. The 30 minute tempo run felt great as I was running 6:22 miles very easily for a half hour.
Friday: Biggest day since IMWI 2008 prep. Got in an hour swim in the early in the morning about 3300 yds, then 30 minutes of strength training, then a big, huge, 3:45 trainer ride followed by a 15 minute transition run. Total hours for the day were 5:30. And I did the trainer ride starting at 7pm lasting until 11pm. I was pretty fried afterwards.
Sunday: Did my goal mile work in 10 degree temperatures on the road as the track was covered with snow. Still struggling on hitting the correct splits, but my 400’s are coming down to 1:17.
On the home front, our youngest is having a hard time staying asleep. AHHHHH! My wonderful wife bears the brunt of the work, but yesterday we were taking turns rocking, bouncing, and swinging trying to get him to sleep, and it lasted from about 8 am till 8 pm. He finally went to bed around 8pm, and got a few hours in before waking to eat. Not sleeping soundly is taking its toll on us mentally, and we can only hope that things change for the better soon, otherwise we’ll become walking zombies!! All for now, take care.
