Doc P's training

Brownman, I enjoy our little conversations we have on this here blog. Hopefully some others will start to chime in.

Here is going to be my basic attempt at a broad weekly schedule, at least for this spring.

Monday/Wednesday will be mainly cardio days:
- Morning: 1 hr or so on the elliptical/erg/treader before work
- Afternoon: Bike to/from Spring League (~15 miles) as well as play frisbee

Tuesday/Thursday will be mainly strength days:
- Do some sort of interval training based upon the TM website, MBar type things, and other exercises I read about. Mainly concentrating on Core and Upper Body. Probably about an hours worth of time.

Saturday/Sunday will be combo days:
- Longer bike rides + interval training
- Running + interval training
- goaltie + interval training

Friday will be my day off.

---------------------------------------------------
I will start properly on Monday, though I plan on doing some things this weekend.

I also want to echo Raja's sentiments regarding food intake. I probably eat the worst (and probably the least) of everyone. Does anyone have thoughts on general principals? More protein? More Carbs? Just more food in general? I am not so sure on what foods are best. I think I read somewhere that many small meals spread throughout the day are best, with maybe protein before you workout and carbs afterwards. I forget. Or does this not really matter?

Of course, booze is a whole other story -- I am not terribly worried about it as long as I am disciplined in doing my workouts. But, as always, this is something that I will have to evaluate as we go along. No more Bulleit Palotti for quite some time ;)
