Ironman Los Cabos Training – 11 weeks to go...

In my last post I talked about my new coach Beth (can get very confusing since my name is Beth too but it’s fun that our last names rhyme) . Since I don’t want to give her services away for free and everyone’s training should look different I won’t go into too much detail here about my workouts. Here is what my week looked like:

Monday:

Easy spin (that I moved over from Sunday)

2,000 yd swim

Tuesday:

Hour tempo trainer ride in the morning  

Interval run (in the dark)

Wednesday:

Pyramid trainer ride

 3100 masters swim

Thursday:

hour easy(ish) trainer ride

60 minute tempo run

Friday:

Strength workout

3000 yd swim

Saturday:

4 hour endurance bike ride with a 30 minute transition run

Sunday:

Half Marathon race (recap soon) quick strength session

90 minute easy spin to get the junk out of the legs

Totals:

Swim: 8250 yds // 2hrs 45min

Bike: 124 miles // 10hrs 27min

Run: 27 miles // 5hrs 5min

Strength: 1hr 10 min

Total: 18hrs 45min

Overall this week felt really good, I am happy to be back into a routine and really enjoying my workouts. My race on Sunday was definitely was not set up to be a PR but it felt good and was fun to race and see friends.

It’s a new year have you started your training cycle or still in off season?
