two weeks of workouts

as discussed with coach, i have been doing 8x workouts per week, with 2 in each discipline plus 2 strength training sessions. guts-wise i feel great, and i have gotten up each morning looking forward to the day's workout. i know that feeling won't last forever, but it feels so good now to be in a workout groove. 

here's what last week looked like: 

• Mon: 40 min swim >1mi mixed drills + kick, plus strength training video 

• Tues: 35 min spin, with 5x2min intervals at my max with 2 min active recovery, stretching 

• Wed: 35 min run, with 8x1min intervals at max with 2 min AR, stretching + abs 

• Thurs: 1hr spin, 6-7 effort, plus strength training video

• Fri: 35-45min swim with intervals (E/B/E/H repeats, plus 50-100m max efforts)

• Sat: 1hr easy run, stretching + abs

• Sun: off

we had a loooong travel day on Monday, flying at 7am from Boston to Dallas, and then driving all over Dallas to see different families for brunch, lunch and dinner. i had originally planned to run on Monday, but it became an inadvertent day off. luckily my in-laws have a fancy shmancy gym a 5min run away from their house, so i've been able to get in a couple of good spin and swim workouts. this is my plan for the rest of Christmas week:

• Mon: Christmas travel, off

• Tues: 35 min hill run

• Wed: 40 min swim >1mi mixed drills and kick + strength training routine

• Thurs: 40 min spin , 10x1min intervals at max with 1 min AR, abs + stretching

• Fri: Swim speed work

• Sat: 1 hr spin @ 6-7 effort + strength training routine

• Sun: 50 min easy run + stretching

we travel back to Beantown on Monday evening, so my plan is to do a swim that morning. might be wishful thinking schedule-wise... we shall see!

hope you all had a great holiday season with your loved ones!
