Above is my newest workout schedule, prepping me for an upcoming Triathlon (August 12!) and Half Marathon (October 14!). You should know by now I’m notorious for making intense training schedules and barely sticking to them, but I’ve gotten so much better in the past year, that I’m feeling confident I can stick to this. Click to zoom for a clearer image of the schedule.

Here are some details on how I created this beast:

  • Spin classes are always a part of my routine since I’m an instructor. This will account for minimum 2 days per week of spin. As prep for the tri I also hope to get on my road bike a few times, it really is a different ride out in the real world.
  • Metcon is a conditioning class at Equinox that I love (officially called METCON3, which stands for Metabolic Conditioning). This class gives me a cardio boost plus strengthening work. I’d love to get to this class (or something similar) 2x per week.
  • Interval Runs are included in my half marathon prep (anywhere you see something like 8×400, meaning I will do 8 sprints that are 400  meters long) and this will help with my speed.
  • Long Runs are a necessary evil in race training! Aiming for a relatively long run each week.
  • I’ve included “Bonus Activities” in each week as well. Bonus Activity 1 & 2 are exercises I need to do each week but timing is up to me, depending on where I can fit it in. Bonus Activity 3 is a blank column for me to add in when I do something beyond what is on the schedule (like teach an extra spin class)

And there you have it! In NYC and want to join me for a workout? Shoot me a message!
