After struggling the last few months to get motivated to start my out season training plan (and only very sporadic running and biking), this was a much better week -- I only missed / skipped one workout and it was simply because I was feeling too sore (and my back was in a little pain). This was truly a "listen to your body" moment that I think paid off. Although I skipped a 60 minute bike ride on Friday (with two 10 minute intervals in zone 4/5), I just wasn't feeling it. Additionally, during my 50 minute run the day before, my legs felt extremely heavy and slow. The combination of the two convinced me to take Friday off and skip the bike workout.
Well, I feel like it paid off because I had great workouts on Saturday (a 75 minute bike ride which included 2 x 12' intervals in zone 4/5 & 2 x 15' intervals in z3, followed immediately by a 20 minute run (i.e., a brick workout) with 10' in zone 2 and 10' in zone 3) and Sunday (a 60 minute run with three 8 minute intervals at high (zone 4/5) effort).
I really feel like things are starting to take shape, and I'm feeling good about my workouts!
