Ok, enough of slacking and excuses. With a little over a month to go for my Howdy Du Duathlon (07/19)- it is time to get serious! Today is the start of week 1 of training for it. Training in the past few weeks has been extremely sporadic, partly due to the fact that I had my grandmother in town and also due to the fact that the extreme heat makes having a schedule very difficult. As I am fairly new to this "regular" training thing, I am having to learn on the fly- especially the Summer schedule. When to train and when not to train? Waking up early (6AM) is very difficult, running at lunchtime is not possible due to the high workload and running in the evening (6PM) is very tough as it is still extremely hot. I went for a run today at 7.15PM, it must have still been 98+ degree F, seriously! Anywho, I am working on a schedule, any suggestions are very welcome.
My training schedule for this week-
Mon: Off-day
Tues: 4 mile run PM
Wed: Pilates PM
Thurs: 4 mile run AM (hopefully I will get up at 6AM) or Weight session
Fri: Off-day
Sat: 30-over cricket match
Sun: TBD
Oh, my bike-Anderson, has a flat tire (I am calling it a flat, although it really is not. It has some air, but it refuses to fill up completely- weird). I need to take him to the store, hopefully soon.
So I have a plan, now it is time to execute. I am going to have to suck up the heat, and try to go for shorter but more frequent bike/run workouts.
