Please help me finish my training schedule. Life has me doing the majority of my workouts early in the am. Which means I am limited to an hour (simply cannot get myself up before 4:30-4:45 as I can't go to bed before my son). After work (pm) workouts are very tough as we have a 4 year old who needs my time. I also do everything I can to support my wife’s running. All her own idea – I just do whatever needs to happen to support it.
Right now I am focusing on building my run, so that really needs 3x a week. This will happen for the next 10 weeks or so. I just finished a similar focus on the bike and am content with the results. Then the sports can then even out. I have found the swim workouts help with leg recovery, so setting the hard workouts the day before works well.
I would really like to lift 2-3x a week – get the strength up now so I can maintain it later. Most efficient to do that in the am as fewer people in the gym. I can get in/out in under an hour (including warm-up/cool-down).
Monday – AM – lift
– PM – Run?
Tuesday – AM – Bike
– PM
Wednesday – AM – Master’s Swim
Thursday – AM RUN
Friday – Master’s Swim
Saturday – Long Run
Sunday – Long Bike Ride + Run (10 min)
My wife runs Tuesday/Thursday/and one weekend day. Which limits my options.
So far recovery has been ok. If things get to be too much, I miss a non-crucial workout and don't beat myself up about it.
What suggestions do you have? I really can’t do things at work – especially not until it warms up again. Never mind I HATE running in the am. Which only increases when it is a treadmill run early in the day. But that is another thread.
Thank you
