First Cycle Winter Training Plan is in, Yikes!
The plan is in and I have my own personal version to get my head around. I now have these early morning easy jogs to fit in...
The plan has me starting these the week of the 17/10 on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I am not sure how much i am looking forward to these short runs but feel I should give them a go as coach thinks this will be a good idea. I decide that the Monday and Friday runs can be done just before my Pilates sessions that have now added to my training schedule. I can arrive early and do a 15 minute run before the pilates. It's not easy fitting all this around work but I am self employed so will try my best to fit in!
So from now on an overview of my plan looks like this
Monday AM - 15 min easy run and pilates - PM Velodrome Gym session
Tuesday AM - 15 min easy run and Fitness yoga - PM Track session, usually longer sprint reps
Wednesday AM - 15 min easy run - PM Gym session local
Thursday AM - PM Track Session, usually shorter sprint reps
Friday AM - 15 min easy run and pilates
Saturday AM 10/15 mins easy indoor cycle and NIAC session
Sunday Recovery run or Recovery cycle
Every 4 to 6 weeks we also ditch the NIAC and rest on a Saturday to do a Merthyr Mawr session. Wow just looking at this now looks like a step up from last year. That said on the first week of plan I have felt stronger and faster than this time last year so we will see. I am still struggling to keep pace with the youngsters throughout the entire session. I generally tire in the last 1 or 2 reps. However I am training until exhaustion so feel like I am giving my all so will see if this pays off. My first real test will be the indoors which am already looking forward to very muchly!!
