June 2011: Weeks 1 and 2
As I mentioned in my previous post I’m planning to get back in my routine of posting weekly (if not more!!!!) entries on my current training and progress for leading up to the Twin Cities marathon.
I’ve come up with some new goals for the next three to four months:
-lose 4-7% of my body fat.
-develop a stronger core and gain flexibility
-practice swimming with the ability to do up to 400 meters for a sprint triathlon.
-get faster at running.
The awesome thing about being a member at Harbor is that they have staff in these specific areas who are able to take my fitness to another level.
New people/ programs I’m planning on adding to my training this summer:
Hot Yoga- I’m excited to give this a try. Everyone who has done it raves about the benefits that it provides.
Swimming Instruction- In order to build up to doing a sprint tri I realized I need additional help in structuring workouts to accomplish this goal. I’ll be working with Derek, Harbor’s swimming and triathlon coach.
AM Boot camp- Harbor just added a morning boot camp on Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30. It’s designed to push you and build lots of flexibility and core.
HAC Personal Trainer Moira- She has been at Harbor for a short time but really, really knows her stuff. Moira has the background and experience to help me in regards to my running, strength, and flexibility. She also does the AM boot camp I’m attending on Tuesdays and a number of the TRX classes.
Fleet Feet Group Runs- I’m doing a number of my group runs through Fleet Feet. I learned through my marathon training that have group runs built in your schedule really helps keep you consistent.
