My training schedule

I know I know I've really neglected the old blog this year. I've still been training like crazy and actually have been feeling better than ever about it, certainly my consistency has been great. However my consistency with writing about it ahs been rubbish. But it's been a good year and I want to write a bit of a summary retrospective soon.

Just quickly though, I've been super happy with the way my training has been going over the last few months. I feel like I've fallen into a fantastic routine and rhythm and it just feel like pure joy. I never drag myself out of bed, never feel too tired or wiped out, never don't want to get out there.

Part of it has been making an effort to do the basic things right. Making sure I'm eating right, cutting way back on the drinking, and making sure I get enough sleep.

Nutrition wise I've been pure vegan all year. Also trying to eat as much raw as possible, usually my lunch consists of a big homemade salad.

Another part has been doing all my training sessions (except swimming) with other people, so really enjoying the social aspect of training. Bascially my week consists of this:

Monday
AM - Sleep in (or yoga if I'm feeling particularly virtuous)
LUNCH - Swim 2km

Tuesday
AM - Bike 40km with the Boundary riders
LUNCH - Running speed endurance session with the HuRTS boys about 45 - 55mins

Wednesday
AM - Yoga
LUNCH - Swim 2km

Thursday
AM - Bike 40km with the Boundary riders
LUNCH - Running shorter speed session with the HuRTS boys about 25 - 40mins

Friday
AM - Bike 40km with the Boundary riders - easy recovery ride
LUNCH - Swim 2km (although I usually swim twice a week out of the three possible days Mon/Wed/Fri)

Saturday
Long bike - it was been around 130km for the last couple of months, usually McCarrs Creek, Akuna Bay, West Head, Akuna Bay reversed, the Duffys Forest and home.
I'll come home and run 30 mins off the bike around Balls Head

Sunday
Long run - Sydney Striders STAR run of 30km

I'm getting excited just writing about it. I want to get out there again now!!!
