How do you train for a marathon in just over a month? You just do. Drink some adrenaline or something. or whatever.
Here's the week. records flying all over the place. eggs in your face.
Mon 9/10: TRX. Every week im pretty sure I say how much i love this thing. well i just did again.
Tues 9/11: 25 mile bike (70 min), TRX. Trainer workout. I try to do one of these a week at least. it's perfect for interval training. I randomly went out drinking with some old friends. That hurt a little in the morning. but nbd.
Wed 9/12: 30 mile bike (1 hour 50 min). I was goin to head out for the last GLV group ride, but felt like going earlier than they leave. So I did my own wellseley/natick/needham ride. Nothing exciting. It's the worst time in the world to go biking after you get out of work at 4pm. I was biking faster than the cars were moving. I was also getting really close to the cars too. I've grown to not care as much.
Thurs 9/13: 4200 yard swim. I always seem to go to the "sprint free" day at masters. I am not a sprinter but I sure like to pretend to. This workout kicked my ass. As does all the sprinting workouts do. I never do butterfly or breastroke anymore. The only time i do backstroke is while pulling on the lane line. Yes, I still do that.
Fri 9/14: 40 mile bike (2 hours 30 min). Since I knew i had a BIG ride on sunday, i just went ahead and burnt my legs out a day easlier. Plus it was going to rain saturday. That's not very fun. I went to walden pond and back, my favorite and most carless route. It's all back roads for the most part. If anyone wants me to take them...let me know. You can always extend it easily too.
Sat 9/15: TRX. I ran a lot of errands. and Stuff.
Sun 9/16: 100 mile bike (6 hours 15 min), TRX, 15 mile commute (1 hour 15 min). I was supposed to go on an organized ride out 20 miles from my house, but those plans fell through last min. So i had to think of some alternative to get in 100 miles. So, I did my walden---> concord---> carlisle ride (55 miles) and back to refill bottles/eat pb&j. then did my dover medfield ride (45 miles). I have to admit. At mile 80 I had to stop and sit in the grass for a little. my legs were dead. Some guy even asked me if i was okay. haha. No choice but to just get back. I've never been on my bike that many miles in one week. FUCK YA! Oh and i added up my weekly bike commute too. it counts.
WEEKLY TOTALs
210 mile bike (13 hours), TRXx3, 4200 yard swim, no running as of today i have 6 weeks left. SIX WEEKS LEFT till IF. PS: so, i am leaving on Halloween. and plan on dressing up on the plane. ideas for costumes? thanks. |
Here's a random picture of me and a horse from iceland. haha
