    Comments and Definitions

    Week Goals You'll notice about the same schedule as last week. During this Prep period, the goal is consistent training and by keeping the schedule identical you'll find what works best for you to incorporate training into your weekly schedule. Everything from knowing the hours for open lanes at the pool to having a bag already packed with clothes, water and fruit to get through that after work run are necessary to keep consistent. The goal isn't to bore you into watching Springer episodes instead of training, but rather to give some time to get your personal schedule worked out.
