August was all about get some consistency into my training. When I look back at my preparation for the Outlaw Triathlon was dismal to say the least. I think I only averaged 3 training sessions per week, and even though they were long sessions that is not enough for Iron distance triathlon.
I trained on 20 days in August and more than half of them were double days, i.e. 2 training morning (or lunch time) and evening. So in total I managed to rack up 31 training session, an average of 1 per day.
Currently I class this part of the year as being ‘Off Season’ so include generic strength training (Weights) and other cardio work (not S/B/R) so my overall mix is slightly different than if I w as to be following a specific training program.
The following graph shows how each week in August was made up...
In all I trained almost 48hrs in August's 5 weeks, of which averages 1.44 hours per day and over 10hrs a week. This gives me a good staring point as I would like to be averaging closer to 12hr per week if possible in this off season.
The second graph looks at the month as a whole, split and grouped by the major elements...
Finally the week in numbers
