Friday Feb 24 |
| Running 41:00 [2] | |

Thursday Feb 23 |
| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Ah yes - yet another unplanned rest day. But after stringing off a row of sleep-deprived nights (102-hour workweek in the 7 days prior), it was time to take a training break. Hopefully will be back on track soon.... |

| |
| Moderate fartlek and mini sprints. |
| Strength 15:30 [3] | |

| |
| Steady workload spinning, brief (60-second) sprints interspersed within. |
| Indoor cycling tempo 30:00 [4] | |

| |
| Abbreviated core session to finish things off. |
Monday Feb 20 |
| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Sigh. Yet another unscheduled rest day - not due to injury or sickness - just work demands. Was called in early for an epidural and had to stay in the ER basically until midnight - Mondays are a zoo! Oh well - I guess it leaves me better rested to pound some more hours in over the next few days; maybe I'll try a little more speed/intensity this week.... |
Sunday Feb 19 |
| Indoor cycling 1:03:00 [3] | |
| |
| On the trainer - some more 24 season 4 - See Jack go! |
| Strength 5:00 [3] | |
| |
| Abbreviated strength training. |
| Running 43:00 [3] | |
| |
| Nicer workout - some quality this time around - this was the cruising fartlek pace first, while watching the boys in red fail to score a goal for the second straight game.... Yikes! |
| Running intervals 21:00 [4] | |
| |
| Some sprint/hill intervals - a nice stretch of the legs.... |
| Strength 12:00 [3] | |
| |
| The usual workout at the end, maybe we'll play some badminton tonight. |
| Other Alternative Training 1:15:00 [2] | |
| |
| And some nice badminton to round of a good day of training. Gotta make hay while the sun shines - this is my only day off work in a two-week block. |
