Typical Weekly Training Schedule Part 2
Posted by FLATOUT JIM in Workout
As described in the previous post, Once guidelines were defined, it was relatively easy to lay down a fixed weekly schedule. You can check out my goals and guidelines here.
The next step was to get a calendar, and scheduled in the fixed items. After that, I scheduled in my other obligations. Basically anything that would influence my schedule, like kids activities. Then finally, fill in the rest of the workouts.
Since I missed out on the winter spin sessions, my only scheduled item was masters swims on Thursday evening, and Sunday Evening. So that was the easiest part.
Next came other obligations. Wednesday my wife had Yoga which left an evening home workout session. Saturday morning was my son’s curling which left the rest of the day. Sunday was kids swimming lessons at 11:0 so if I wanted to, I could get up early enough to get in a morning session to compliment my evening masters swim workout.
So after spoiling a couple of calendars, I came up with the following weekly schedule.
Saturday: Bike, aerobic session. Long spin session or outside ride weather permitting.
Sunday: AM Yoga or Core. PM Masters swim
Monday: AM Optional easy swim. PM Power builder Spin session.
Tuesday: AM Swim Resistance focus with paddles and Sculling drills. PM Yoga or Core
Wednesday: AM Swim Drill session. PM Power builder Spin session.
Thursday: PM Masters
Friday: Recovery Day. No scheduled workout. Light stretching optional.
So I am off to a decent cycling and swim based winter training session.Although I managed to hit all my dryland sessions this week, but fell behind on my swimming because the pools are still closed for the winter maintenance. Hopefully next week they will be opened, and I can back on track 100 percent. Come summer, I am looking forward to some kick ass results.
