The Training Week That Was... 11/5-11/11

Although I have not done so in months, I am returning to the idea of documenting my weekly mileage and stationary bicycling time. I've noticed on some runner's blogs that folks track weekly, monthly and annual mileage, all of which always seem impressive to me. So why not copy their strategy and perhaps it will motivate me to increase or maintain my mileage!

A change from the last time I did this is using the calendar week as my start and end point rather than a Monday thru Sunday "week." This week represented a few training changes for me: first, for the past few months I have been training in the early afternoon or night time and now I am attmepting to focus most of my runs in the early morning before work, and secondly, my long run will be on Sundays (fingers crossed!) rather than Saturdays starting today. This change, in part, accounts for the particularly low mileage output this week...

Let's take a look at an overview of the calendar week's (Sunday thru Saturday) activities. In the "chart" below, R = Running, SB = Stationary Bicycling, and I've also noted increases or decreases from the previous week):

Sunday: SB 30 min.
Monday: R 5 miles
Tuesday: R 7.5 miles
Wednesday: Off Day
Thursday: SB 30 min.
Friday: R 7 miles
Saturday: 3.1 miles (5k Race)
TOTALS--R 22.6 miles, SB: 60 min.

My end of week race this week was a 5k which I felt pretty disicplined, controlled and well-paced in running, although I did not deliver a PR.
