Fitzy Plan begins...24 weeks and COUNTING!!!
Well my ripped ladies,
According to my calculations, we begin the Fitzy plan for the remaining 24 weeks of our triathlon training. Am I right...or am I right? 24 weeks! Jeez - we're 1/3 of the way done with it! So, I was looking at the workout plans that Shef sent out and I'm already excited. It's less time than the other program I was using before and I'm glad to start focusing on some higher intensity, but shorter workouts. 8 weeks of base training before we move into the build phase. But let's not get carried away here...one day at a time and today is REST DAY! Now that is sure a nice way to make Mondays a little nicer. :)
So here is my question I'd like to pose. The workouts, especially this week, aren't very long so if there is a 30 min swim and a 40 min bike, I'd like to do it all at once. And I think we're supposed to do the "all at once" sessions on the weekends, too. So if it is listed "swimming" and then "running." Do we do it in that order? Or can we run and then swim? I'm sure it's not a HUGE difference overall. But the part of me that doesnt want to be wet and then put on running clothes would prefer to end with swimming. But the part of me that is thinking, "swimming comes first so it would be better to use those muscles and then practice the rest of it because it'll be similar to race day" thinks I should swim first and then do the run/bike. So - suggestions?! What are you guys planning on doing?
And who is judging the photos? I'm pretty impressed with all of them here.
And I'm also glad someone else will be doing the same training program...maybe that will make it less lonely. Goll, those bikes can be brutal. COME ON SNOW...MELT!!!
Tri me,
jill :)
