I am blogging my training journey for my 2nd Triathlon as working full time, raising a toddler, quality time with friends and family and allowing my husband time to workout too it makes it hard with squeezing in training. One thing I feel fortunate for is a lot of my friends compete and scheduling time with them usually involves swimming, biking or running! I need to get comfortable with putting my son in gym daycare as it is there and an hour a part will do us both good I am sure on the weekends! I am definitely a happier momma when I can workout.
I am training for the Iron Girl Triathlon August 24th and every training program I see requires you to train 6 days a week. That is impossible. I work 50+ hours a week, have a toddler and a husband who likes to exercise and I kind of like to also spend quality time with my family. I have started my first week and here is what I have scheduled. I am hoping if my less than 6 day a week routine (this week is a good week) is successful for me it might help someone else down the road. My swim coach told me that it is proving better to do short 10 minute workouts broken up than 30 minutes. Do what you can, when you can. Why? He stated it was because your heart rate is jump starting again.
WEEK ONE:
Monday - Holiday
Tuesday - Master Swim, 2000m
Wednesday - Husbands gym day...off.
Thursday - Core workout
Friday - Run
Saturday - Bike 15 miles minimum
Sunday - Swim
