Running, cycling and more running

Well, I've now almost fully recovered from my second dose of the winter flu. The second time it hit was just a few days after the Townsville Half-Marathon which is ran by the Townsville Road Runners club.

I've now headed out for a run and cycle and been to the gym this last week and hope to start a full week of training from Monday.

I don't know how successful I will be, but I would like to have the following schedule this week and monitor my progress with my Garmin.

• Monday -  Run at 5.30am for 10km until approximately 6.30am.  Gym in the afternoon for an hour to help tone and strengthen core muscles.
• Tuesday - Cycle 4.30am for 40km at an average of 30km focusing on a constant steady cadence. Followed by a Gym session Tuesday afternoon.
• Wednesday - Run at 5.30am for 10km until approximately 6.30am on a difference course to Monday. Gym in the afternoon focusing on shoulders and rowing muscles to help core muscles build up endurance.
• Thursday - Sleep in and attend Uni at 9am. Gym session in the afternoon with short 3km run average 10-12km on treadmill with varying gradients, followed by a 15 minutes session on stationary bike with power output of 180-200, level 5-6. 
• Friday - Sleep in and attend Uni at 9am. Finish IT jobs and attend gym at 2pm for 2 hour session focusing on cardio exercises for first hour.
• Saturday - Sleep in after a big night at youth and head to gym in the afternoon for a brief one hour session.
• Sunday - Head out for 20-25km of riding at 30km/h than meet the Sunday ride guys at McDonald's and head out on a chosen route. After attending church have a relaxed afternoon until 3pm and head to gym for a 3km run and some strength building exercises focusing on legs and core.

Yeap, it's me competing at Adventurethon!
