Training Schedules!

Not much time for a very long post this morning! About to go write exams but i figured I would write down my weekly routine and see if I can get some comments from people who know better.

At the moment it looks like this

Mondays - Weight Training as well as a 1mile run
Tuesdays - Interval Run training .. 45 minutes to an hour
Wednesday - Swims 1 hour probably about 4km
Thursday - Endurance Run and a short bike.. run for an hour 20, bike for 20 minutes
Friday- Swim again 1 hour
Saturday - Long bike and short Run
Sunday - probably a break day

This is a pretty basic breakdown, quantities aren't very much.. hopefully this will go up as I get into better shape. My interval run yesterday was a lot easier than i thought it was going to be. I went 5.5 miles in 50 minutes. Pacing 5 minutes at 6mph, 10 minutes at 6.5mph 15 and 7.5 and 15 at 7 with a 5 minute cool down. Next time Im going to try for 6.5 7 8 7.5 cool down.

Wish me luck! Have a great day to everyone who reads this! I know I sure will.. kick off the day with a bowl of cheerios and a FInance Exam!

  3. Lots of cardio in your workout week, try adding some lower intensity stuff to target fat cells. I would also do more weight training, all that cardio seems to be useless if you're not increasing distances/speed,
    Also, I prefer to start my day with oats and vitamins/fish oils; great source of fiber, and it keeps you full longer. Maybe have some cheerios mixed in....
    O_O that's a good idea lol.

  4. @ Squirlmaster I agree with what you are saying. I try and get in 1 cup of oats a day with a little brown sugar! Oats are the best! As far as the cardio goes I try and increase my distance and speed almost every week. Once weekly I work on increased speed by making my interval runs faster. I also increase distance on my endurance runs as often as I can. Sometimes I increase the speed of my endurance runs too! I really should throw in another weights session per week, sometimes i just don't have time :(
