In case you missed one:
Tri Training Tuesday #1
Tri Training Tuesday #2
I didn’t get all the workouts in that I wanted to last week. I know, clearly I’m not as dedicated as I should be, but life does get in the way sometimes around here – which I don’t always mind truthfully!
My bike ride was better last week, my runs were pretty good (except I need to find a backpack made specifically for running – the over the shoulder one I used on Friday chaffed my shoulder), and my swim was WAY better than the week before. I didn’t panic while trying to breathe, and I swam 4 more lengths for a total of 400m. I’m hoping that this week I’ll be able to string more lengths together, and do some 100m repeats. Fingers crossed.
My favourite workout was definitely the 3.4km run to the pool, my swim, and then the 3.4km walk home in the most beautiful spring weather. The walk had me really appreciate the beauty of my neighbourhood. We have a lot of greenspace around here!
Very pretty!
This week training kind of looks like this (kind of because this weekend is a holiday here in Canada, and that involves cottages and race cars and various other things so I need to be flexible with my workouts):
Monday – Off (mental health day! haha)
Tuesday – CrossFit
Wednesday – Off or CrossFit
Thursday – CrossFit + Swim
Friday – Bike + maybe CrossFit
Saturday – Run
Sunday – Run
Looking forward to swimming on Thursday – I definitely think I’m going to keep up with swimming after the triathlon. I’d like to get better for one, and two it’s great cross training for everything else I do.
Hope your week is going well!
Do you sometimes take a mental health day? And are there backpacks made for running?? Help a girl out!
YES! Mental health days are soooo necessary. Sometimes your head needs a day off from the gym mroe than your body does. It’s not a backpack per se, but I find camelbacks very comfy to run with…and you stay hydrated! They have a small compartment for stuff…not enough to throw your back out though!
Great week… those trails loooooook FUN!
Camelback has a few specifically for running but my best option has been the Nathan water belt.
