Monday: run/swim. My run was split into two – one 30 min run solo and one 30 min run with the twins, as I just didn’t feel up to pushing the stroller the whole hour. I think I was still tired from the race the day before. 60 minute run/6.26 miles/9:40 average/54 degrees/HR 146. My swim was shorter too, for the same reason. 48 min swim/1600 meters
Tuesday: ride. 60 min ride/18.2 MPH/18.2 miles/Temp 64/HR 144 I waited about 45 min longer than last week to hop on the bike and there was so much more traffic, that it apparently motivated me to go a little faster. I’m getting better about using a consistently higher cadence also, which is good news.
Wednesday. swim/run. 49 min swim/1800 meters. I’ve started more loosely following the Be Iron Fit swim plans (I wasn’t following them at all before) and so have started with a warm up, a set of drills, the workout, another set of drills and the cool down. 60 minute stroller run/6.03 miles/9:58 average/Temp 62/HR 152. Wednesday is typically track day, but I had enough time after the swim to throw the twins in the stroller, and they wanted to go, so we went. I did miss running with the group but it was to have the workouts for the day done early and be able to hang out with the family that evening.
Thursday bike/run quick change. 45 min ride/13.76 miles/18.2 MPH/72 degrees/HR 144 followed by 15 min run/1.69 miles/9:01 average/72 degrees/HR 152
Friday: long run. 75 min run/8.21 miles/9:09 average/61 degrees/HR 149Friday has typically been my rest day but after having a weekend day to rest last week I realized I kinda liked it. Also, since that tropical storm was supposed to run through Sunday’s weather looked less than stellar and Friday was a nice cool morning.
Saturday: long ride. 3 hour ride/54.35 miles/18.2MPH/72 degrees/HR 143 This was technically supposed to be 2 hour 45 min ride but we thought we were going to come up short and did some extra…..we were wrong. Its kinda ridiculous how long that extra 15 minutes feels mentally when you were prepared for something shorter. But, it didn’t help that my PSAOS was being kind of a jerk and I could feel my whole right side tightening up the whole last hour. Also, my crotch was less than pleased. I may be investing in a new seat. It’s always something. On the plus side, no knee issues! Get home, eat all the food!
Sunday: rest day eat all the food part 2
Total Time: 9 hours 52 minutes ( close enough )
Training Thoughts: A comfy crotch is a happy crotch. Also, CAN I EAT ALL THE FOOD NOW?!?!

I feel like I eat all of the food too… it’s so crazy. But I think “fueling” and “recovering” from our workouts is the best part sometimes; not that I eat anything I want but it’s nice to work out and feel like you can indulge without doing a lot of damage. You had a great week of workouts and double days, and that was a crazy long ride! Hope all goes well this week especially the way the weather looks… ugh.

Yeah this week looks like it’s going to be day by day.

Almost 10 hours of training?! And with work and twin toddlers?! You’re an iron women for me already! I don’t know how you do it.
I’m following your journey since my twins were born a few months after yours. And you, actually, inspired me to start running, so I’m training now maybe 5-6 hours a week for my second half, and I want to tell you, I’m ready to go to bed before my boys.
You’re such an inspiration, I love your blog!

Wow thank you!!! I work part time so that helps a great deal. Also, my parents live two streets away and my husband is super supportive. It also helps the the twins like the stroller! When is your second half??

Hi, Theresa. Sorry, I haven’t seen your response earlier.
You’re one lucky girl having so much support! I have none of it and work full time, so I get up at 4:30 am to get my runs in.
I never tried to run with the stroller, but I chase my boys on a daily basis, so sometimes it feels like a second workout after work😉😂. I’m planning the race on the end of August, not ideal, I know, but I need something to motivate me to get up this early almost every day.
