This was my first week of officially being back in my training schedule (since early May!). What that basically involves is 8 workouts a week which includes two workouts on two days of the week (intended to be Tuesday and Saturday) during the week and one off day (Sunday). This training schedule is really for my Half Ironman (IM Austin) at the end of October, but it also will lead almost into my 20 week program starting Jan 1, 2013.
My intention was still to take it easier than the plan was scheduled for and gradually get closer and closer to the prescribed workouts as the weeks go by. I had an over-training injury a couple years ago and I know that it can set you back for a long time (for me almost 9 months) so I was not interested in pushing it too hard too fast and risking that again. The key for me was to build, get in the training schedule rhythm, and acclimate to the heat as well.
Feels good to be back in the swing of things!
Swim - 2200m (45min)
Bike - 39.51mi (2hr 9min)
