So the marathon is over.\u00a0 And that means I have to start thinking about what’s next on my schedule.\u00a0 And I have to make a training schedule.\u00a0 I haven’t done that in a few months.<\/p>\n

This next training schedule’s going to be complicated as well, since I’m going to be working up to a sprint triathlon in June, as well as running four halfs before that (man, that sounds scary writing it out).<\/p>\n

Because I’m not doing a half-ironman (which would involve a 13.1 mile run) , I need to create my own hybrid training schedule.\u00a0 I’ve found a good triathlon plan that I think I want to use, and then I simply plan to lengthen the runs.\u00a0 I’m not sure how this will play out when it comes to race day for the half marathons, but I’m not aiming to set any new PRs.\u00a0 My focus this spring is strictly the triathlons.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see how the cross-training affects my race times.\u00a0 I would love to see some surprise improvement, but with some of those halfs being in warm months, I’m not expecting much.<\/p>\n

I’m also going to be training a bit with Team Fight, which means following their workouts on Thursday afternoons.\u00a0 I’m excited that they have bike clinics and the like.\u00a0 I need to learn more about biking and swimming, so this is going to be an entertaining adventure.<\/p>\n

I’m toying with a February 2014 marathon.\u00a0 But we will see what happens with that.\u00a0 I might be crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
