The Plan

I have never had a plan. Smash and Grab. Swim, Bike, Run, Rinse, Repeat, Over Train, Under train, Mis-train. Burn out. Feel sorry for myself. Binge.

The fact is, my life is too hectic to adhere to a plan. Maybe that's just an excuse for being too lazy to get up earlier.

First "race" of the year in less than T-minus 4 weeks: 1/2 Marathon.

I'm not nervous, but I know I'm not ready. Training has been "thin" for the past 2 weeks. I think I have a good base. Lacking in the 'Interval' side and perhaps too heavy in the 'Tempo' department.

A quick Google search for 4 week half-marathon plan... of course nothing. But I have taken it upon myself to adapt, Hal Higdon's 12 week Intermediate plan.

It looks a little like this...

Week	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun
9	10 K Run (Med)	8 km run	3000 m swim	6 x 400 5-K pace	15K Easy Run	Rest	Leisure Bike
10	1000 m swim +Med Bike	8 km run	3000 m swim	45 min tempo	Rest	8 km pace	16 K Easy run
11	1000 m swim + Med Bike	8 km run	3000 m swim	7 x 400 5-K pace	Rest	5 km pace	17 K Easy run
12	1000 m swim + Easy Bike	6 km run	30 min tempo	1000 m swim	Rest	Half Marathon	Rest!

Wish me luck.
