Training Plan - Week 4 - Jan 20 to 26

Monday night's swim session includes a 20 minute swim time trial. 

In the previous years I have done this test:
Dec 2010 - 975m
Dec 2011 - 1,025m
Jan 2013 - 1,175m
Jan 2014 - Obviously I am looking to go further than last year. However, in the past I have always had lane space to go at my own pace, while this year I am likely to get boxed into the pace of the rest of lane 3. While they are generally better swimmers than I am, they are for the most part, not such aggressive racers. Depending on how the traffic affects my time I may try a solo T20 later this week or early next week. 

It is also possible that I might accidentally sneak under my annual targets for 400m in 6 mins 30 and 750m in 13 mins. Since this is swim-only and I don't have to get on the bike or run afterwards I won't count it, but it will be interesting to know that they are possible. 

The rest of the week is structured the same as the last couple of weeks. No planned dental work to impede progress so hopefully I can get the numbers back towards where they should be. However I am on the phone list for cancellations so that may change again. 


Monday - Swim with TPT - T20 Test. Stretching session.

Tuesday - Easy run or mtb. Core session.

Wednesday - Short but fast run. Weights session.

Thursday - Date Night. 

Friday - Wii yoga. Turbo? T20 second attempt?

Saturday - Run - Rep session. 

Sunday - Long ride. (Or Westhill Duathlon if the weather changes massively before midweek).

Target totals - Swim >1 miles. Bike >35 miles. Run >12 miles. 1 short core, 1 short light weights and 1 short stretching sessions. 30mins of wii yoga.
