This week's training plan (12 weeks to go)

This morning I met with Coach Bruce to get this week's workouts. Much thanks to Bruce, he moved my appointment ahead so that I could get my swim in before meeting Trainer Lindsay.

I did get my swim in. 3 repeat of 300 m swim + 300 m pull buoy. I have not swam or swummed 1800 m in some time. Felt good but I have a long way to go when it comes to swimming. I timed one 300 m swim at 6:24 which is an 11:00 500 m which is an 88:00 4 km swim. I will be happy to come out of the water in 90 minutes at Ironman. I dream of 80 minutes.

My training schedule is goofed up because I am going to Calgary for a Fencing tournament. I told Coach Bruce that I could find an hour on Sat and Sun but could not guarantee more than that as I am one of two cars transporting Sask fencers to Calgary.

Here is this week's training schedule:

Monday: Swim 45 minutes. Heavy weights 60 minutes.
Tuesday: Run 3 repeats of 10 min @ 160-165 beats/min + 5 min @ < 140 beats/min.
Wednesday: Swim 45 min.
Thursday: Run 4 repeats of 3 min @ 165-170 beat/min + 3 min @ < 140 beats/min. Then I take a 10 min set break and do the same again. With warm up and cool down the total should be about 60 minutes total.
Friday: Nil (I am driving to Calgary).
Saturday: Run 60 min @ 140 beats/min.
Sunday: Run 45 min @ 155 beats/min.
