Week 1 - 1/2 marathon Training

I'm still on break from school & this week is kind of a vacation week. Fitting training in will be easy. We'll see how it goes once school starts up again and work picks up after Labor Day.

Week 1 of my official 1/2 marathon training. The plan for this week:

Monday: 40 minutes jog; we'll see what kind of distance I cover. Goal: 4.5 miles. There will be one 2 minute walk break. Flat course. I use Garmin 310XT as a training tool. Yoga tonight.

Tuesday: 6am "Mambo" bike ride with Tenafly Road Dawgz. Approximately 25 miles (21-24 mph average). Flat, speed work. Go to the gym: Strength train upper body. 10-12 reps total upper body & core.

Wednesday: Strength training (legs) at the gym. Driving to LI to hang out at the beach for a few days. I'll probably do a mellow 1.5 hour bike ride with my friend Julie when I get to the Island.

Thursday: 1 mile easy swim in the bay. Running intervals for speed.

Friday: Morning yoga. Short swim in the bay. 1.5 hour relaxing bike ride. Drive home.

I'll be more specific day-by-day.
