My first week of this new program is now over and I'm feeling OK. This was the schedule for the past week:
Monday - 2hrs on treadmill
Tuesday - 2hrs on treadmill
Weds - Rest
Thurs - 1hr on treadmill, 1hr on the road with running club
Friday - Core-training, ab work and push-ups (2 variations)
Saturday I will be doing some cross-training and Sunday I have a 5-mile running race that I aim to finish in under 45 minutes.
While I'm not getting the hours on the treadmill that I'd like, this is mostly due to my desire to ease into this because I don't want to risk any injuries. The treadmill is good, but it's not as forgiving on the knees as I'd like. I had a shorter workout today, but I'm really working on my chest & abs, so I blasted them today and feel pretty good about it.
Also, with this new program, I'll be reserving the weekends for my races/events. I have some running & cycling events coming up and that will help with the fat burn.
My diet was still pretty good. I eat very clean and have good discipline about it. I'm focusing mostly on protein and while I'm not depriving myself of carbs, I'm definitely limiting them.
Overall, a good week. Still getting used to being on the treadmill for so long, but that's only a matter of time.
