Got through my first day today of the new plan. It called for 30 mins of running, 15 of riding, 45 swimming and strength work. Got up at 5 am and hit the bike for quick 15, couple hills near by and then followed it up with a 45 minute run. After work I hit the weights for the first time in a long time and it showed. Got in 3 sets of 12 reps of squats, lunges and step ups.
Fact is I'm weak or my legs are tired from riding this weekend. I pushed moderate weight and felt it immediately, so I knew it was all working and tried to keep good form. I also worked in 9 sets of abdominals and learned the whole midsection is weak, real weak. Hit the decline bench after a few sets and that was a mistake, damn near fell of backwards, awkward moment. Got through it.
Hit the pool afterward for about 50 and worked in some speedwork and drill work keeping it well above aerobic. All in all a good day. Felt like it went on forever. 10+ hours left this week.
