Marathon Training - Week 5 Preview

This is week five of the Denver Marathon Training Plan (+ some swim & bike training). Last week was a good week for run training, but my bike and swimming hours were reduced from the goal sessions due to the combination of family obligations and bad weather. I'm hoping to improve the biking miles this week by commuting 4 days by bicycle, and incorporating to harder efforts into the rides. I'll also try to swim 3 times this week instead of only two. We'll see how it goes.

Plan for this week:

Monday:Cross-train: Swim 3000 meters
Tuesday:Bike 8.5 miles (easy commuting to work)
Run 3 miles (aerobic effort)
8.5 miles (warmup, 2 x 4 x 40 secs as hard as possible)
Wednesday:9.5 miles (easy commuting to pool)
Swim 2000 meters (speed)
4.5 miles (easy commuting from pool to work)
Run 7 miles easy/aerobic effort
