Anyway this is what my training schedule called for (in black) versus what I actually did (in red):
Sunday: 16 ran 15 I'm still working my way back up from vacation
Monday: 75 minute Cross Train 30 minute swim
Tuesday: rest ran 7
Wednesday: 6 rest
Thursday: Bike 45 ran 6
Friday: 6 mile run rest
Saturday: Rest ran 12
Sunday: 10K race biked 17 and wake boarded (yes it IS exercise... it actually burns a ton of calories)
Monday: 75 minutes cross train 30 minutes CrossFit
Tuesday: Rest Ran 8
Wednesday: CrossFit planned
Thursday: Run 6 planned
Friday: CrossFit planned
Saturday: Run 17 planned
Sunday: REST!!!!! planned
If that is not a training plan with ADD I don't know what is. The problem is I was doing bootcamp on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays for the past couple of weeks and kind of got into a Tuesday/Thursday run schedule out of necessity. When I scheduled my CrossFit elements (learning the basics) classes I thought I'd still be going to bootcamp. So I scheduled them for Monday, Wednesday, Friday because bootcamp was pretty lame and I figured I could handle both.
Well now the bootcamp instructor changed all the days of her classes and I just wound up not going at all for the last 2 weeks I paid for (don't worry I had a Groupon). The point is, I was "stuck" with Monday, Wednesday, Friday CrossFit and Tuesday/Thursday running.
As it turns out, I'll be working out 9 days in a row with no rest. In my defense I REALLY thought I'd be kind of doing active rest on CrossFit days. My coach told me that the class explained technique and good form. I had no idea he would be abusing me the whole time and that I'd be using muscles I didn't even know I had (and that was day 1).
There's no point to any of this really other than to tell you that I'm crazy, my training plan is totally messed up, and I'm just praying to get through these workouts alive. Please understand I know that this isn't a smart approach and if I REALLY need to, I will take the day off on Thursday and/or Friday. I also know that people push their bodies waaaaay harder than I'm pushing mine right now. The important thing is to listen to YOUR OWN body and ease up when you have to. Like I said, if I HAVE to I definitely will.
