I've talked about this before but never implemented it. It's amazing how after a lifetime of organizing my world around the seven days of the week, that even in retirement it's hard to let go of it. But there is absolutely no good reason that I need to differentiate between the week and the weekend from here on in. After all, I can just as easily go to church on Tuesday, as on Sunday :)
So I'm structuring the rest of my training around a six day schedule. Like this.
Day 1-Long bike with transition run
Day 2-Off
Day 3-Long run/walk
Day 4-Off
Day 5-Short to medium ride, with transition run
Day 6-Long swim.
That is a very relaxed schedule compared to what I used to do, but I think it's sufficient to get me around the Mont Tremblant course before midnight on Aug 16th. And the real beauty of ignoring the days of the week is that when I feel crappy, or when I have something more important to do, I just take a day off, and carry on the next day from where I left off.
Today was a perfect example. I had to go out of town, and rather than try to cram my long run in and then feel stressed all day I simply moved it to tomorrow. Life is good.
And tomorrow I may tell you why I had to go out of town today.
No workout!
