Training Plan - Week 21 - May 19 to 25

I am still in two minds about going to Knockburn for my first outdoor swim of the year on Wednesday night. Last week seems to have been survivable temperatures by all accounts. And there is nothing at the cinema that I am desperate to get to this week. So I am probably out of excuses and should get on with it. I would like to get in a decent run beforehand as well.

There is also a Strava challenge to run 40 miles in 16 days which I signed up to assuming I would get 13 miles into the first day. Instead I only got 8 so there is some work to do there. And I am very short of running reps the last few weeks as I have lazily settled for just completing 5-8km runs instead of rep sessions.

And I am still a bit behind on my bike miles for the year and am going to try and make some more of those back.

So I have scheduled a heavy week with a load of miles and no rest days. 

Monday - Swim with TPT. Weights session.

Tuesday - Run reps session. Core session.

Wednesday - Run and Swim at Knockburn. Stretching session.

Thursday - Long run >10km. 

Friday - Short brick.

Saturday - Long bike > 35miles. Wii yoga session.

Sunday - Long run >10km, with added reps. 


Target totals - Swim > 2 miles. Bike > 45 miles. Run > 20 miles. 1 short core, 1 short light weights and 2 short stretching sessions. 30mins of wii yoga.
