Training Week 8 of 13 for Boise

Sunday:
- off
Monday:
- swim :45 (form)
did around :30, was still pretty beat from sunday, decided it was better to rest. Worked on left-side breathing and hip movement.
Tuesday:
- run 1:00 (e2)
ran up to Buffalo Park and around the loop a couple of times. Ended up doing 4.7 miles total, not terribly speedy. Also ended up with a nice blister on my left foot... I need to get used to running in the real world rather than on a treadmill.
Wednesday:
- swim 1:00 (e3)
phew, fastest yet. 2600m in the hour. 1900 @43mins. 500m in 11mins.
Thursday:
- bike 1:00 (e1)
did this on friday. 13.47 miles in 57 mins, 14.2 mph avg. No way to avoid somewhat nasty hills when riding from my new place, maybe even worse than the old house. I came up over Cedar on the way back, that is a huge hill to me.
Friday:
- brick
- bike 1:30 (form)
- run :45 (form)
didn't end up doing this, did the other ride in the morning and then golfed in the afternoon.
Saturday:
- off
went golfing saturday too.

Training Week 7 of 13 for Boise

Sunday:
-off
Monday:
-swim :45 (form)
did this, worked on bilateral breathing, and it really helped a lot (or at least
I was a lot more comfortable breathing on my left side)
-run :15 (e2)
wanted to run 1.5 miles in 15 mins straight.... that didn't happen. Think I ended up at 1.2 or so.
Tuesday:
-bike 1:00 (form)
yep, trainer
Wednesday:
-swim 1:00 (e3)
did around 53 mins, maintained 10 mins/400 m for the whole time.
-run 1:00 (form)
did this run on thursday, 4.6 miles in an hour.
Thursday:
-off
Friday:
-swim 1:00 (e2)
did this on sunday. probably more like e3, I did 1900m in 45 mins again, 2500m in the hour.
-bike 3:15 (e2)
did this on friday on the trainer. Only did around 2 hours I think. I'm way behind on building up endurance on the bike (and still on real world riding on the bike)
Saturday:
-run 1:45 (e3)
did this on sunday after the swim. I had some nice cramping at the start, so I walked the first mile in about 20 minutes. After that I picked it up and ended up doing 6 miles in 1:20.
