When I first started this coached program, I was concerned.
I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy or be able to maintain a training schedule that is given to me, as following structure has never been my strong suit.
I've always thought that my "intuition" was strong and I typically would decide what workout I was going to do the night before or the day of the training session.
I'm finding that I'm rather enjoying this pre-planned program.
What's great is that I don't need to think about what I should be doing. Essentially I don't have to make it up as I go along based on how I feel at the time.
The surprise has been how I feel after the training sessions, especially the next day. Before signing up with the plan, my concern was that it would be too much and I'd burn out.
The cool thing is that I'm seeing how the workouts are scheduled and they have built in recovery periods.
It is really strange, I'm doing more training than I have in my whole life, but I feel like I've been doing the least amount of training from a "body recovery" standpoint.
Case and point; Today I did a moderate hour run which felt effortless, then swam 3500 meters, and I don't feel tired.
Monday and Tuesday combined was about 6 hours of training. Tomorrow is an hour bike, which I consider somewhat of a rest day.
I now look at my schedule and if I see only one training session for an hour or less that day, I truly look forward to it, as it is a rest day in my mind.
I'm one "sick puppy"!
