Earlier this year I created a triathlon training program for Square Lake this fall – my “A” race for the year. I wanted to build up my running miles so that I’d still be able to run a variety of races throughout the year, but also be in shape for the tri. So I chose an Olympic distance training program with a focus on running. BAD MOVE!
It was too much, way too much. So this week I started a new plan that I created on BT that was setup for the exact distances of Square Lake and did a more balanced approach 2 bikes, 2 swims, and 3 runs and much more manageable time commitment. So 2 weeks in it is going pretty good. Here are the stats from Running Ahead:
Bike: 89.4 mi
Run: 13.5 mi
Swim: 0.6 mi
YIKES! 89 miles of biking could be why my legs feel a little burnt. Only one of those was an actual “training ride” on my Trek, the rest were commuting and riding to places. Since I’m only training for a 5 mile run don’t expect super high running mileage, which is actually a little hard for me to accept. It seems like it should be at least in the 25-30 mile range. With the swim, I only did 1 of the 2 workouts. I was waiting to hear back on doing an open water swim over the weekend but that fell through. But still 103 miles of total training is pretty good – it will be getting a little higher in the next 2 weeks probably as the training distances increase and then will drop off suddenly in August when I’m no longer commuting.
Dailymile only said this week was “super” which is disappointing after last week’s “epic” week.
