So, about 11 weeks ago I decided to do something outrageous, I signed up for the Ford Ironman Louisville on August 29, 2010. My real training however, began in January when I got my awesome pink camoflauge, Quintana Roo Tri bike. I've been trying to keep to the workout schedule, but it's been hard. I've decided to blog about my experience to motivate me to workout and accomplish this daunting task. Luckily, I have a great trainer, Will to help me and if you're in the Cleveland area, go to Aspire Fitness in Beachwood to get in the best shape ever! I am using a trifuel training plan, the advice of vetern Ironman finishers, and some guesswork. My training plan for this week is as follows:
Monday
rest
Tuesday
Bike 1 hour 15 minutes, Run 45 min, weights/core work 30 min (new!)
Wednesday
Swim 1 hour, bike 1 hour,
Thursday
Swim 1 hour, Run 1 hour and 5 minutes, weights/core work 30 min
Friday
Swim 1 hour, bike 40 minutes
Saturday
bike 2 hours and 30 minutes (longest ride yet)
run 45 minus
Sunday
Run 1 hour 40 minutes
So yes, it's a lot and yes, I do miss some minutes, but I figure since I love to write and I need all the motivation I can get, I decided to blog about it, enjoy!
