In my last post I mentioned that I needed a coach. After self-consultation and idea-toying I decided to opt for an 11-week one-off programme - downloaded from trainingpeaks.com (online training application which allows you to either use their
Virtual Partner or buy one-off programmes which includes a diary/log).With a reasonable base I decided to go for a post-base build-like programme by Dirk Friel - Build-Peak-Race programme. I've only looked at the first two weeks and see that they amount to around 20 hrs a week training time. Hope I'll be able to find the time.
Today I have a 30-minute gym 'Strength Maintenance' session. I might find this session difficult to complete as I'm looking after the kids - for their half-term. This gym session includes:
1. Squats
2. Crunches
3. Push-ups.
4. and other bits which I can't do at home like lat pull-downs.
So, there you have it. Finally sorted that out. I hope this gets my motivation going again. The last two weeks have been tough for me. Now it's time to get back on track.
If you're reading this and have had experience with online programmes drop me a line/post a comment and let me know what you think?
