Training Week July 7th-13th

I was feeling really wiped out on Monday. This heat is really getting to me. Also my nutrition was crap last week. I decided to take a few easy days, difficult decision but I would hate to blow all this hard work being stubborn.

Monday-Easy 20 minute walk
Tues-530 am easy 20 minute run

Back in the saddle and feeling good again on Tuesday!!

Wed-530am speed workout on indoor trainer
5 min steady w/up
3 min fast as possible (18-20mph)
2 min recovery
3 min fast
2 min recovery
5 minute fast
3 minute cool down

3 mile walk with jogging stroller(with mom's group)

Thurs-open water swim (first time in ocean) (sighting drills)

*note to self do not watch all three Jaws movies before open water workout, was wigging myself out a bit. I've been really bored in the pool and avoiding my swim workouts, so I decided I needed to change things up a bit. I'm a complete wuss when it comes to cold water though. It was 80 + degrees outside and I still felt the need to wear my wetsuit. No the water wasn't 80 degrees but you'd think it would atleast be refreshing.

Friday-5:30am
20 minutes bike-relatively flat course on indoor trainer
90-100 rpm

36 minute endurance run

HR 80% range almost entire time (did immediately following cadence workout on bike)\

Saturday and Sunday-off (as am working entire weekend)

May try and fit in longer ride outside one evening! :)
