TGIF! Yeah, it’s Friday! Finally made it to the big, bad day of FUN!..Enough of that, let’s check in with my workouts.
Currently I am in week 15 of Tri training, and on schedule with my base training of building endurance and improving my conditioning phase for Chicago Tri in August. Keena says for me to not worry so much about the end result, but to keep up with the plan and follow it. So far, I have completed 3 of my scheduled workouts for this week, and I have increased my times this week. Tuesday I woke up with a silly headache and got a cardio in for consistency, which entailed of 47 minutes 20 seconds on the treadmill. Incline was at 3.5 for 40 min and heart rate was jumpin between 140 and 150. Felt good after. My days were getting busier by the minute, but I prioritzed my workout for health and Tri goal reasons. Wednesday I hit the pool at 9:30am, too late for me but the none the less, I got it in. The kikster swam several different freestyle drills = 825 yds. My nose/head were conjested and my breathing was a little tough because of allergies, so I swam a little slower than usual. Today I ran outside for 40 minutes and my heart rate was higher than usual, right around 155 because I am really tired today. I only got 5 hours of sleep last night, and my body feels a bit slow. I need to do a weight session by Sunday night to make my four workout goal. Notice I leave my weight sessions for last because I hate doing them alone. I prefer to strength train with a buddy.
LESSON: This week I re-confirm the importance of just sticking to the workout plan as schedule, and not dwelling on how I want to be in a faster place, or having quicker results. Staying consistent and doing the small steps each week will add up and evolve into big gains. The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs …one step at a time.
