Joe Hallatschek - NOV OS (Wks #7 to9)


RnP – got my Holiday schedule worked out, did my initial planning,
watched OS Videos for weeks #7&8 and I have three weeks that I would like
your opinion on before I go “final” with the pencil.   Details - I am at my
daughter’s home during week #8 and the only workout venue possible is a High
School track. For week #9, I am at my in-laws and I will have access to a pool
(maybe) and can run in the neighborhood. At the end of the week #9, stay with friends
and no workout is possible. Both weeks – no bike.   So, here is my plan and any comments are welcome:


 


Week #7:


Monday – no change


Tuesday – rest


Wednesday – run test (same course as test #1)


Thursday – Sunday, rest of week #7 as scheduled


 


Week #8


Monday – bike test (then fly to North Carolina)


Tuesday – walk, strength workout, recon track


Wednesday – do week #7 run workout


Thursday – do the week #7 run workout


Friday - walk, strength workout


Saturday – do the week #8 Sunday run workout


Sunday – fly to Mississippi


 


Week #9


Monday – run 50-60’ LTHR (course I run there to benchmark fitness for last 32 yrs)


Tuesday – swim, walk, strength workout


Wednesday – run 50-60’ LTHR


Thursday (Christmas) - walk, strength workout


Friday - run 50-60’ LTHR , travel to Meridian, MS


Saturday – walk, strength workout


Sunday – fly home to Texas, get in a bike workout if
possible


 


Thanks for your time!

    Thursday – Saturday as scheduled, Confirm Sunday is rest day before test.

    Week #8: 

    Monday – bike test (then fly to North Carolina)

    Tuesday – walk, strength workout, recon track

    Wednesday – do week #7 Wednesday run workout

    Thursday – do the week #7 Sunday run workout

    Friday - walk, strength workout  (Consider OFF between the two "Sunday" runs)

    Saturday – do the week #8 Sunday run workout

    Sunday – OFF fly to Mississippi

     


    Week #9


    Monday – swim, walk, strength workout (Acclimatization Day)

    Tuesday – run 50-60’ LTHR (course I run there to benchmark fitness for last 32 yrs)


    Wednesday – Longer run in Zone 1/2 so not HARD, up to 75'. 

    Thursday (Christmas) - walk, strength workout

    Friday - run 50-60’ LTHR , travel to Meridian, MS

    Saturday – Short run of up to 45' with some strides

    Sunday – OFF & fly home to Texas

    Week #10

    Monday, get in an easy 30 to 40 minute bike workout if possible, just to wake up the bike legs and justify Sunday off. 

    Tuesday + is back on schedule!

  • @Patrick - I did this past Sunday workout as scheduled, which was 2mi@Z3, then 1mi @Z1, then 2 X 1mi @Z4. I made all my targets paces. I think I will be good for Wednesday. If I don't feel rested during the warm-up, I'll just push it to Thursday like I would for a rain day.

    All else - got it. Printed and ready to pack with stuff!

    Thanks,

    Joe
