Guess what’s just around the corner? Cyclocross! June when I generally mean to start “running” in preparation for cyclocross season. Last year I didn’t start until August (and look what happened). Looks like I’m about a month late on that one, so it’s time to kick this shit into high gear!
To start this off with a bang, I’m back at Short Track. Hell, I might even TRY tonight. If I focus on it being a workout instead of being a race, I won’t stress out over it (god I’m such a head case). Besides more LT intervals and short track, cyclocross training will involve strength training, more yoga, cx skills training, and of course running. Lots to do, and so little time! Hopefully I can get some group workouts going (anyone want to go on a really pathetic run with me?), and probably the toughest will be strength training because I can’t afford to take a class. That can mean only one thing: THE GYM. Fuuuuuuuck!
I’m going to focus on keeping it fun, but still working hard. I have a rough idea of a schedule for the next 3 or 4 weeks, and it goes a little something like this:
- Monday - Short Track
- Tuesday - Ride to/from work (40 miles, Z2-3), Strength Training
- Wednesday - Ride to/from work (40 miles, Z2-3), Run
- Thursday - Strength training, Thursday team ride (recovery)
- Friday - Yoga, Run
- Saturday - Team ride or MTB ride
- Sunday - Endurance ride, Yoga
Gotta work in some skills practice in there as well. Maybe 3rd year’s a charm on the remount.
