As planned, last week was an easy week with a slight increase in duration from the week before to ease myself back into a regular routine without over doing it. I included a few cycling days using my commuting time to cross train and make the most of my free time or maybe it was creating training time? My week went a little bit like this:
Monday
Easy Run over Hilly Course: 6K
Tuesday
Cycle to/from work: 38K
Easy Run: 10K
Wednesday
Cycle to/from work: 38K
Steady Run: 12.8K
Thursday
Cycle to/from work: 38K
Friday
Steady Run work/home 17.6K
Saturday
Running Drills 2K
Sunday
5K Race in Lucan 5K (18min45sec)
Total for Week: 58K Running & 114K Cycling
The best training plan is one that fits around your life rather than trying to fit your life around the training plan! During last week all my cross training was done during my commuting time and my run home on Friday which took 1hr 22min was also a commute which got me home 30mins later than usual but for that extra 30 mins I managed an 11 mile run. My steady pace 8 miler on Wednesday was done while my kids were at Kick boxing, the easy run on Tuesday was my way of getting to an athletics competition the kids were competing in and the running drills on Saturday were done with my daughter . How do I find the time to train?
