Winter Workout Schedule

planning new patterns
bringing light and energy
to Winter darkness

Tentative schedule for Winter...

Winter Workout Schedule

Monday: One Hour Swim, Weight Lifting (upper body)
Tuesday: 6-7 Mile Interval Run
Wednesday: Bike Trainer – One Hour
Thursday: 6-7 Mile Run and Weight Lifting (lower body)
Friday: One Hour Swim
Saturday: 11+ Mile Run or Bike Trainer (90 Minutes)
Sunday: 11+ Mile Run or Bike Trainer (90 Minutes)

Given my crazy schedule, this will not always work out, but I think it is a good, balanced pattern. As the weekend run distance increases (up to 20 miles before tapering to marathon day), I'll need to put a recovery day after the long run. In general, I've found that swimming works well as a recovery workout - it almost seems to smooth out the muscles impacted most severely by running.
