IronDad’s Schedule

30 Mar IronDad’s Schedule

First, the important stats

• Weeberzon: overdue by 4 days
• IM Muskoka: 22 weeks to go

I like forecasting.

It’s fun to prognosticate and then wait to see how close I was to reality. So in that vein, I’m going to lay out my planned weekly training schedule on the road to Muskoka. With rule number 1 in mind, I don’t have a very high degree of confidence that I’ll stick to this schedule. That’s half the journey though: learning to be flexible. So for the next few weeks, here’s what I’m thinking:

• MO – Recovery ride
• TU – Easy run + Hard group ride
• WE – Endurance ride + Strength
• TH – Hill or interval run + Hill ride / coaching TTC or MEC ride group
• FR – Day off training
• SA – Long ride / leading TTC group + brick
• SU – Long run

Notice something missing? That’s right, there’s no swimming in this schedule. Chalk this up to the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do line of thinking. The key to a good IM race is the bike anyway. Lots of that for me!

This is of course is in addition to

• Daddy duties
• Coaching my awesome athletes
• Coaching one or two morning strength sessions at Blast
• Coaching two morning Run Camp classes for the good people at Crossfit TO
• One or two PT engagements
• Leading the TTC Saturday morning ride
• Coaching one evening run and likely one evening bike group
• Two weekly shifts at MEC

Looks like an exciting spring and summer ahead. So what do you think? Doable?

Remember: do as I say, not as I do.
