CUW Training Plan: Week of 7/11/16

7 weeks till race #1!!! Time to start getting excited and peppering me with questions, so feel free to ask away! Be sure to get me your sizing for the clothing orders ASAP! 

Things that need to get done: 
1) Sizing form via google doc - ASAP
2) Medical forms for Athletic Training - August 1st but please provide me an update of when this will be done.


Week Layout: 
Monday: Swim #1 and Strength #1
Tuesday: Bike #1 and Run #1 (try to do one in the AM and one in the PM)
Wednesday: Swim #2 and Strength #2
Thursday: Bike #2 and Run #2
Friday: Swim #3 (and Run #3 if you want Sunday Off)
Saturday: Bike #3 and Hips
Sunday: Run #3 (or off day if you did this on Friday).

Individual Adjustments:
Olivia: Brick run after every bike workout, 15', much like Run #2. - continue with 2/1 system
Mary K: Do swim #3 on Thursday. You can move Bike/Run #2 to Friday, Run #3 on Saturday, Bike #3 on Sunday. That'd probably work best.
Meghan: Running: For the three run workouts, do a 5' walk warm up, 5x(1' run, 1' walk), then a 5' walking warm down

Strength Workouts:- Do these as a circuit, which is where you do the 1st exercise then move directly into the 2nd exercise without rest. Once you finish the list, 1x through, you take rest before completing again for rounds 2 &3. Don't forget to allow time for stretching when done, Animal Series is my favorite but stretch out what needs it.

Strength #1: 
3x through:
- Wall Sit - 45" 
- Yoga/Dive Bomber push ups x3-4: The key is to go forward and back the same way, thus giving your shoulders a workout as well.
- Straight Arm Bridges x10 (no need for the backpack - make sure you pause and hold for 1-2" at the top).
- Hollow Hold for 35"
- Hollow Arch for 35"
- Rest 1-2' between rounds.

Strength #2:
