This week I am linking up with Jessie at The Right Fits and Jess Runs ATL to recap last weeks training.
———–
I am still considering Ironman vs. Ultra (can’t I have both?!?) but for now I am dedicated to focusing strength training and building back my base fitness.
I am trying something new this time to help me keep on track with strength training. Strength training often takes a backseat to swim-bike-running but this time I am committed to building strength before jumping into a full on training plan. To help keep me on track I singed up to do a 21 Day Fix with Nicole as the Coach . So far it has really helped me prioritize strength training and I have really enjoyed being part of a group.
Last week was not a perfect example of what a week should look like but with just returning to work and baby’s first cold =( other things had to be prioritized.
Monday: Unintended rest day, spent the day cuddling with Cannon and visiting the Pediatrician. He is doing so much better now but seeing him not feel well breaks a new mom’s heart.
Tuesday: Quick run on the treadmill and Upper Fix (upper body strength training)
Wednesday: Lower Body Fix
Thursday: 3.5 mile run in the morning and Pilates Fix in the evening
Friday: 25 minute spin on the trainer (oof, it’s going to take sometime to get used to the bike again)
Saturday: Pumpkin Patchin with the family =)
Sunday: 6 mile run
Total: 6 hours training (not worth breaking down, and sadly NO swimming….sigh)
Overall I think the week went fine but there is lot’s of room for improvement, already looking forward to doing better this week!

Thanks for linking up Beth! Happy to have found your blog too, you have done a lot of really cool races. I’m enjoying catching up. Leadville Marathon- WOW!
I did the Greenland 25k last year and my husband did the 50k! Really tough for flatlanders like us 🙂

Thanks for linking up!! I’ve heard such good things about the 21 day fix. I’m hoping to really do a lot of strength training over the holidays between training cycles. I’m looking forward to following along as you do it!
