- I feel like I'm on drugs!
The view while I run.
Morning, gang.
6 a.m. at the pool.
Red kick board today, unfortunately.
Yellow one is nowhere to be seen.
I got awesome sleep, full seven-and-a-half hours.
Feel like I'm on drugs!
All this energy is just coursing through my veins!
Today should be a fair bit of a speed-focused swim,
and afterwards, I wanna show you...
Just stick around, I'll explain.
- Mister Taren, how you doing?
(pop music)
- That was 25 50,
26 50 for me.
The real studs are out there
still doing another 1,000 or 1,500.
Most people are, well, the smart people
got out a little earlier.
Alright, by popular demand, let me show you around the place
after a weight workout.
Well, you don't need to see that.
You've seen lots of that.
- Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a tour of Pan Am Pool.
It has bleachers, a shallow, 25-yard pool,
a diving tower, more bleachers, track, track, track, track,
dive training area that I'm not allowed in,
more workout area, lots of bronze plaques,
more bleachers, a ginormous, blue wall, more bleachers,
two, freezing cold, 25-meter training tanks,
a weight room where I get my swell on, the view while I run,
dry land training area, picnic benches,
which you might've seen from other videos,
they were green back then, kiddie pool, where my friend,
Jacques is gonna practice swimming,
pool box that we snuck on deck, lane ropes, lane ropes,
lane ropes, another weight room that I'm not allowed in,
and the 50-meter track that I train in.
She's a beaut', eh?
Okay, so somebody in yesterday's blog had a brilliant idea
of walking through what my week is like
because I'm walking through what my days are like,
but you might not be able to piece it all together
with what a standard week is like,
so we're gonna start on Monday, and Monday, what I do
is an endurance swim, followed by a weight workout.
Tuesday is a one-hour bike in the morning
and then a temple run in the evening,
and the temple run is around 35 to 40 minutes.
We're gradually bringing that up.
The bike in the morning is focused on power.
Wednesday is three workouts in the day.
We start with a volume swim in the morning
of anywhere between about an hour and an hour-and-a-half,
then I go upstairs, and I do that maintenance routine
that I showed you a couple days ago,
which is kinda working out
all the aches and pains and niggles,
and then in the evening on Wednesday,
I do a lighter, just kind of zone-two run.
Thursday morning we do a absolute, balls-out power session.
It's called the Power Hour on the bike,
and in the evening, we do a threshold run.
Friday morning is a swim that is more speed-focused,
so going around 2,500 to 3,000 meters,
and then we do a weight workout after.
Saturday and Sunday are the big days.
These are the important ones.
On Saturday morning, I start with a 30-minute bike,
progressively getting up to race pace,
and then we go for our long run right after,
which is getting up to 21k, 25k, right about now.
Sunday's more of a bike-focus,
and I start with that by doing,
it's about a two-hour bike right now, get off the bike,
and very quickly do a four-mile run.
In between all that, I also commute by bike to work,
even through the winter, so five days a week I've got
about a half-an-hour bike commute to work,
and about a half-hour home.
This absolutely knocked me on my ass
when I started doing it two summers ago
because the increased volume of five hours,
even though it's really, really low-intensity,
it was enough to just knock me on my butt,
so overall, we will go bike,
I am bike-commuting every weekday.
I am on the bike Tuesday, Thursday mornings,
a little bit on Saturday, a lot on Sunday.
Swim, swimming Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Running, running hard Tuesday, light Wednesday,
hard Thursday, long Saturday,
and brick after a bike Sunday, five runs.
Strength, actual strength bookending the week
on Monday and Friday, and a little bit of a maintenance
strength-ish routine on Wednesday.
Overall, we're getting, if we're including all
of the commuting, somewhere around 21, 22 hours,
and I don't do that year-round.
I've built up to that, and the volume, right now,
is very high, whereas two, three months ago,
it was actually more around 12 to 13.
Altogether, we are talking,
if we're going each activity individually,
somewhere around 25 to 30 total workouts a week.
Is that right?
Yeah, but a lot of 'em are clustered together,
they're back-to-backs, they're moving from the swim
to the gym, or a bike to a run, or a run to a bike,
actually, no, we don't do a run to a bike,
or a commute, so it ends up not really seeming
like a huge amount of volume.
It seems very manageable because it's not that many workouts
spread throughout the week at inconvenient times.
Anything else?
Oh, and something that we also do
is we go two weeks on, one week off,
so we'll go hard for two weeks,
and towards the end of those two weeks,
I am feeling like I've lost a hammer-fight,
and then I get a week of rest where my volume
is about half of what it was before,
but there's still some intensity so that my muscles
remember how to move over, turn over quickly,
and I love rest week, I love that rest week.
Right now, we're coming into the last weekend
of my two weeks, so I've got two more days of working out
and smashing myself, and then I get next week off.
It's gonna be just beauty.
Okay, I'm gonna see you this weekend
as I do those two more days of hard work.
Okay, see ya then!
