Your Week in Training July 18 - 24

I'm the lightweight around here as usual; however, I needed the easier week to make sure that I'm ready to get going for NY. This coming week will not be big miles either as I have a small, short, but difficult race on Saturday morning (and a 400 m swim).



Mon - Easy 2.5 miles recovery
Tues - Easy 5 miles with striders; core work
Wed - 5 miles with 8 x 1:45 on/1 min off
Thurs - 21 miles cycling, 3 easy miles with a friend. Then we lost power, so I couldn't swim.
Fri - 13 miles in the disgusting heat and humidity, Drank 24 oz of cytomax and still lost 2 lbs. I was drenched before I hit the lake.
Sat - 6 miles easy
Sun - 32 mile ride

Totals for the week: 34.5 miles running (step back and recovery); 53 miles cycling
