It does seem more time efficient.<br /><br />Mark:thankyou. I think for now swimming is the one thing I am most confident at so I can let that slip for a while, the other two i really have to focus on.<br /><br />BDD:thankyou for your feedback. Those 5am workouts are starting to seem like they will have to happen.Barbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833073049586917325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604739527259244616.post-70980021684672776122010-06-04T23:32:53.720+10:002010-06-04T23:32:53.720+10:00I do schedule a rest day, it is a must so you dont...I do schedule a rest day, it is a must so you dont over train. 3-4 sessions in one discpline is more for the athlete that is only doing one discipline. I do 2 of my strentghs and 3 of my weakness<br /><br />ex <br />2 swims<br />2 bikes<br />3 runs (injuried now, but it was what I was doing before hand)<br /><br />then double up on your strong days with strentgh training, as for family, the only thing I find that works is 5 am workouts.

It's important to let your body recover so it can heal and remain strong. Without a rest day, you could burn out.<br /><br />To get more of those sessions in, I do a combo workout once or twice a week - usually a swim plus run or bike plus run. The runs are shorter than when I just do a run workout, but that combination really trains your body to adapt and work when it's tired.<br /><br />I personally prefer to do these combo workouts all at the same time. I think you get the most benefit from them that way, and spend your time more efficiently. Some people split them up into two workouts a day. I don't like doing it that way.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Cyclin' Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055590629075632638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604739527259244616.post-15702959396108615382010-06-03T18:12:03.418+10:002010-06-03T18:12:03.418+10:00Thanks Xavi.

But I do feel rested most days when I wake up. Some days I notice my back hurts more and there is no rhyme or reason to it, it just does. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.Barbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833073049586917325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604739527259244616.post-38673062797834280062010-06-03T15:58:47.653+10:002010-06-03T15:58:47.653+10:00I don't schedule a rest day.

Partially because I know that they are occasionally going to come up anyway due to schedule, and partially because I've found that if I just do a swim day w/o another session, it serves as active recovery and usually is enough to keep me in good shape rest wise. Also every 3rd week I'll cut back a bit. Just listen to your body. If you are feeling good and remain injury free (outside of what I know you have going on at the mo') then you should be fine. Are you sleeping OK? That's a big sign of over-training.Patrick Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181637044657605057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604739527259244616.post-63898863191469844552010-06-03T12:38:59.991+10:002010-06-03T12:38:59.991+10:00Looks like a well balanced training week session!....Looks like a well balanced training week session!...but you nee one rest day!<br /><br /><br />Cheers from Hong Kong!<br /><br />¨XTB¨Xavi.XTB-XAVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678582264933494611noreply@blogger.com
