Due to my work and life schedule and having two young kids, I do three brick workouts a week to simply fit mileage in. On M, W, F morning my wife runs on the treadmill before me, and I have either an hour to bike or run (currently bike on M and run on W & F). On T and Th I generally am up before 4 am and can get in about two hours. I'm currently doing a Zwift race each of those two days followed by 20-30' on the treadmill. I could take one of these two days (T or Th) and do a longer run. Saturday morning is also a brick workout, and I'm currently doing around a 3' ride with a Zwift race in the middle followe by a 30'' run. My wife has a 7:15 Barre class to get to, so I'm up around 3 am on Saturday to get this in.
Afternoons and evenings don't work, as I have to be home to get my son off the bus (except for Wed, when I can get in a midweek swim). In order to get the early am workouts in doing an evening workout doesn't really work if I want to get a decent amount of sleep.
So, if you were in this position, would you keep the run/bike workouts or adjust things? I have seen some good results from doing the Zwift races and recently won an indoor TT with close to 5 w/kg over 15:30. As you can guess, I am self coached, but have had some coaches in the past.
