Oh, it would be so easy for me to write out a 6 week training plan that I should have followed to get ready for the metric century, but it's a little late for that now. And honestly, I need to remember that getting ready for that ride isn't my only goal for the month. I also want to achieve running 3x week and hitting 12K steps/day on average.
What I've done so far this week: Sunday was a lazy day, but I got in short runs each day Mon, Tue, & Wed. The distances were 1.8mi, 3.1mi, and 3.3mi. I realize that I'm not running far enough to train for any serious races, but it's far enough to stay healthy, and that is the main goal.
Looking forward: I hope to get one more 3 mile run done today. Tomorrow the plan is a 20 mile bike ride. Then on Saturday, a 44 mile ride. Between the two days I will have gone the full 64 that's coming the following weekend at Day of the Tread. Then I hope to run on Mon and Tues again. I'll be travelling Wed-Sat and don't expect much more than walking as exercise, although I'll bring running stuff "just in case" I get a chance Thu or Fri. That Sunday is the metric century.
So clearly this wouldn't have been my Plan A, but it's reasonable as a Plan B, right? RIGHT?!?!
Plan B is better than giving up entirely!
ReplyDeletePlan B is better than no plan at all. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally right. I like your logic.
ReplyDeleteLooks right to me, good luck!
ReplyDeleteI know zilch about biking, which is actually what I"m hoping to learn in the next year...so sure sounds great to me :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I always do this, too!
