Sub-Goals:
- Increase biking ability and distance
- Get my running pace down
- Increase overall strength
- Consistent workouts, eating better so excess weight comes off, sleeping well
- Planned bike rides and duathlon brick workouts
- Tuesday track workouts and other runs with people
- Weekly strength sessions
- Making workouts a priority in the day, not an "if I have time" activity
THE PLAN
Exercise:
I am aiming for 3-4 days of running, at least 2 days of biking and one day off during the week. Some days might double up exercises, which is fine because probably one day every other week will be a brick workout (alternating running and biking). I also need to get a couple days of core/strength work in there. This is all a challenge, and in the past I've found it to be best for me to just play the week by ear rather than strictly determine which days I do what. There are certain days that are already dedicated to certain activities... Monday night: group ride. Tuesday night: Track workout. Other than that, I need to plan while keeping in mind that the workouts are a priority in the day. The weekend will be used for longer sessions of activities like a long run or bike ride.
Diet:
Overall, I need to eat better, healthier choices for my calories. This means going to the grocery store, maybe even multiple times in the week, for fresh food. I need more protein and need to watch my iron level. Cooking more dinners at home during the week will also help with the excess caloric intake. I also need to drink more water – I'm bad at that.
Tracking:
I will post my workouts here. Cardio, strength and core with ability shown for each (i.e. 3 mile run, 10:15 pace)
