What are you training for? Date? Brooksie Way 1/2 marathon - September 24
Training plan for the week? It was to run 6 today, then 3ish miles a couple more times this week, but it's going to be in the mid-80s so running at lunch is out. I don't think I'm going to be able to fit any runs in besides a Saturday morning shake-out. It may be a CrossFit week instead.
Any issues or vents? My knee and foot have been bothering me off and on for the last couple of weeks. I decided to total up my miles and I'm over 350. I definitely need new shoes, but I don't want to get them right before my half this weekend.
Highlights or AW's from the past week? I'm drawing a blank right now...
What are you training for? Date? Clarendon Day 5K/10K Sunday, Richmond Marathon 11/11
Training plan for the week? Mon - Strength, Tues - 8 mi w/ 5x600, Wed - 12 mi + strength, Thu - 5 mi 6x100, Fri - 17 mi, Sat - Rest, Sun - 5K/10K race
Any issues or vents? I've already whined enough this week. Onward and upward. I am still worried about my new shoes. It's a new model Mizuno Wave Inspire 12s and I'm wondering if my half is a sign that these shoes might not work for me anymore. I'll have to give them a few more runs to know for sure.
Highlights or AW's from the past week? I'm planning on two run commutes (Tuesday and Friday) this week and I think I managed to pack everything I need. I feel sufficiently recovered from my half and I'm ready to keep kicking ass with my training.
What are you training for? Date? Cyclocross, Starts Oct. 1
Training plan for the week? Sunday: 2.5+ hour mountain bike ride Monday: Off/massage Tuesday: 75 minute ride w/intervals Wed.: CX Practice Thursday: Recovery ride Friday: Off Sat.: 90 minute ride with intervals Sunday: charity ride, probably 2.5 hours
What are you training for? Date? Granite State 10 Miler 10/22
Training plan for the week? M- Bike 30 mins, core
T- 8 Miles, Strength
W- 5 miles, Yoga
TH-6 Miles, Strength
F- Rest
S- 10 miles
S- 4 Miles, Core
Any issues or vents? Feeling a bit antsy and wishing I had signed up for a half this year. I'm also stressing about my time goals and already worrying about the course elevation. I guess pre-taper madness has set in, lol?
Highlights or AW's from the past week? My hip is starting to feel better so I am relieved about that. The 5K I ran Sunday was gorgeous! Ultimately I decided to hang back with a friend and not race it for myself and I'm happy with that decision
Sunday: 1:45 duration ride Tuesday: 45 minutes with sprint intervals Thursday: testing for threshold - I hope I survive Friday: 30 minutes easy Saturday: 1 hour cadence work
Vents: After taking much of last year off from real work due to health issues, it is really difficult physically and mentally to get back in the saddle. I'm struggling and having a hard time with it. Thanks for letting me vent.

What are you training for? Date? Turkey Trot 5K - 11/23
Training plan for the week? Mon - Rest Tue - Leg strength Wed - Push strength Thu - Pull strength Fri - Rest Sat - Leg hypertrophy Sun - Push hypertrophy
Any issues or vents? I had to take an extra rest day yesterday, because I somehow managed to hurt my neck while doing yard work on Sunday and then starting feeling sick after I tried to eat my pre-workout meal. I've been doing so well with not taking extra rest days, so I'm pretty bummed about it.
Highlights or AW's from the past week? This morning, I discovered that my arms are getting too big for my long-sleeved shirts. I'm going to have to buy new winter clothes. lol.
What are you training for? Date? Twin Cities Marathon on October 1st
Training plan for the week? Just hanging on to a few taper miles. Trying to foam roll & take 10 minutes for yoga every day. 8 miles this weekend sometime.
Any issues or vents? Honestly, I am just so tired and ready to be done training. I want to run this race A LOT, but I'm at peace with having zero time goals. My work/farm/home life that gets all tangled together is so busy and we are trying to prepare to actually move to the farm sometime in the next month. I often find myself up until 11:00 working on accounting and paperwork, and it's so hard to run early when I can't get sleep. End rant. /
Highlights or AW's from the past week? I ordered a new running tank for the race. And my favorite shoes are definitely low enough in miles to wear for the marathon. I'm just happy to have somehow made it through this summer while training along the way.
Training plan for the week? - Mon: Made it 4125 yards for my distance swim. Tues: 3000m swim, Wed, long run, Thurs group ride plus some extra on my own, Fri ez Run, Sat final Lou course ride, Sun run. This week is weird.
Any issues or vents? - My schedule this week is weird. Swimming last night got my shoulder/neck knot issue all flared up again. I'm hungry ALL THE TIME.
Highlights or AW's from the past week? - I know my Lou bib number!
M: strength training (30 min) T: chisel class, Run 7.5 W: 8 w/ 3x1 Th: chisel class F: 5 w/ strides Sa: 2.25 mile race with the family, plus another 8-10 with DH Su: rest
I am looking forward to the marathon being done so I can start up a new strength training program. I'm ready to be back in top shape, or at least better shape.
Last week's highlight was the mud run and obstacle course with DD1. Probably the most fun I've had during a "race". And I made it across the monkey bars. Lol, I was worried.

What are you training for? Date? End-wet, June 2018
Training plan for the week? Swim Thurs-Sat
Any issues or vents? I'm exhausted lately. Time to step up on iron and vitamin d.
Highlights or AW's from the past week? I spent last week in Dallas for USMS Convention. We passed a role allowing open water directors to be able to allow swimmers to hold a kayak or natural features provided they're not making forward progress. As a marathon swimmer, this hurts my heart, because it is step away from tradition. But as a person who has helped people try open water for years, this makes me so happy, because people who are scared to race open water may be more willing to try it.

Any issues or vents? My schedule is just so busy lately and I don't even work. How does this happen?!

Training plan for the week? M: rest, T: 8 w/ 5x600, W: 11 mi, R: 4 mi+ST, F: 6-8 miles, S: rest, S: 17 mi
Any issues or vents? My half on Sunday took a lot more out of me than I thought. Those 8 mi with intervals were not pretty.
Highlights or AW's from the past week? Even though my race on Sunday was kind of a shitshow I looked at my splits and they're probably the most consistent splits I've ever had during a race
Swan Lake has been moved to spring 2018 2019, which I am happy for...more time to practice en pointe. So now my short term goal is getting back en pointe in November.
Training plan for the week?
S - rest M - 1.5 hrs Intermediate Adult Ballet + 1 hr pre-pointe T - rest W - NROLA Th - rest F - NROLA S - Beginner ballet
Any issues or vents?
My teacher annoys me when she sucks at explaining stuff and gets frustrated with the students when we don't understand her. If I am struggling as a student, then my teacher needs to first look at herself, and not assume I'm not putting in the effort. Especially when it's the entire class struggling. Ballet is hard enough, I don't need the extra emotions from my teacher.
Highlights or AW's from the past week?
I am feeling fantastic with the RP diet. I can work harder during my workouts and know I can make it through them, plus recover very quickly. I've never been able to lift and do ballet consecutively and I love it.
Training for- I believe I'm doing the 25 mile mountain bike race/ride thing on October 7th. It's just dependent on the weather now at this point, if it's very wet I won't do it. It is very tough terrain that is above my skill level in ideal conditions so rain makes it a no go
Training this week ugh, I was so sore from overdoing it Sunday. Nothing Monday or Tuesday. Even today I am still sore but planning to go swimming later so Wednesday- swim 800-1000yd (practicing the things from coaching.. so mix of flippers/kicking/board/breathing practice etc.) Thursday- run 3-4miles & weights Friday- more swim same as Wednesday Saturday - not sure, I have a cake to make again Saturday so probably nothing Sunday- Swim coaching and hopefully afternoon MTB ride
the weather is horrible this week, lot of rain in the forecast so I won't be able to go mountain biking
