Training Plan - Week 1


OK so this one is slightly early for a 2013 blog because week 1 really starts in 2012.

Future weeks are going to come with more detail but this post is going to be quite lazy both in content and in structure.

Last week's training was just about dealing with my preference for round numbers to finish off 2012.
Pool was closed last week so Monday was a rest day. It was a short run with Dexter for each of Tues-Thu and a road bike ride on the Friday. Saturday I planned to go to the Grampian Endurance Session but changed at the last minute and went biking instead.


Run and bike targets for the coming week are just going to be based on 1/52nd of my targets for the year. Swim target has an allowance for my summer outdoor swimming, and the shoulder still not being right, so is slightly weighted downwards.

So:
Swim 1 mile.
Run at least 10 miles.
Ride at least 31 miles.
Half an hour of something else. (Core or yoga/stretching depending on how things feel midweek).
And the odd bit of physio exercises for the shoulder as well.

Nothing extreme for now. The run will need to be split over at least 2 sessions. Having done a mtb/short jog brick this afternoon I may be able to wrap the rest of the week into 5 sessions and potentially to start with almost a double bike week as I have a ~50-mile bike option on Sunday morning if the weather holds.
