A couple of weeks ago, I was in a panic about the training plan from the book I’ve always used, having difficulty following it. It was just too much with my work schedule. So, I met with Triathlon Coach, Marty Gaal, who worked up a plan for me. It’s still alot, but more doable, and Marty said just commit to Tu,Th, Sat and Sun. If you have to skip the other days, don’t sweat it. That alone helps alot (and yes, I’ve had to skip some!)
This is my training plan for the week that Marty Gaal gave me: I have a long run midweek. That is very different from what I always did in the past. Change is good. 🙂
When I did the Harris lake nuclear swim, I faded in the 2nd half. My time was 4 min slower as compared ot last year. It made me realize that I am just not used to swimming that hard for that long. So this week at the pool, I chose a “Muscular Endurance – Distance” swim workout from my “Swim workouts in a Binder” book by Gale Bernhardt. I hate those workouts because it has a lot of long-ish swim sets at race pace. It was hard, but it’s what I need more of.
