Training plan for the week of May 4

Hey Hey, we are in May! There is only 4 weeks to go to the marathon, so our schedule will be three more weeks of ramping up the distance, then doing a 1 weekish Power-Taper to be ready for raceday. The only complication this week is the Lethbridge Sprint triathlon on May 10 (Sunday), so I will need to do some kind of mini-taper before it arrives.

Monday: Triathlon Resistance - 1 Hr
:Swim 30 minutes

Tuesday: Tempo Tuesday! - 8K of tempoing
Swim - 30-45 minutes, at Talisman center in the 50M pool

Wednesday: Triathlon resistance - 1 Hr
:Milers on the Shaganappi hill. We have to run this hill in the race, so lets go train on it. 8x1m@T - one mile up the hill, one mile back down perhaps.

Thursday: 10K of recovery run, so easyish
: Swim Lesson - 30 Minutes

Friday: Nothing at all for lunch - have a business presentation that goes to noon anyway
: Swimming with Helen - 30 minutes

Saturday: Cycle 1 hour

Sunday: 500m of swimming, 20K on the bike, 5K run - 1:20 of intense effort
