I've survived week two of training :) It went like this:
Monday - 4 mile run and 30 min (7 miles) bike
Tuesday - 5.2 mile run
Wednesday - Well life and mother nature got in the way today so an unscheduled rest day
Thursday - Tempo run day! About 7.5 total miles running with 5 miles faster like this: 8:50; 8:50; 8:50; 8:40; 8:30 followed later that night by a 30 minute bike ride
Friday - Scheduled Rest Day :)
Saturday - 15 mile long run
Sunday -1650 yard swim and 2 hours (just over 27 miles) on the bike trainer
Overall a good week of training. I was very happy with my tempo run this week and felt great!
It really is so much easier to do the training when you have other people to train with during the week. On Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday I ran with several people from work and it made the training runs so much easier! That 15 miles on Saturday just flew by and the tempo run didn't seem so hard (well the last mile did!). And swimming -well those of you that know me know that I hate swimming!!!! But today, with friends, it was actually fun :)
It also helps to have others training for the same event as you - someone to hold you accountable!
Since I started running a few years ago, I have met so many new and wonderful people! I am very lucky!
