A busy time ahead...

I wanted to make sure I could fit all my goals in during the day so wrote out the timeline for a busy day.

4:00 - Alarm
4:05 - Record heart rate
4:10 - Make shake & coffee
4:30 - Begin workout & drink coffee
5:30 - Finish workout
5:35 - Drink shake/breakfast
5:45 - Get ready & changed for commute
6:00 - Commute

Work

16:00 - Finish work
16:05 - Get changed for the commute
16:15 - Cycle home
17:15 - Arrive home
17:20 - Drink shake and shower
17:30 - Make dinner & lunch
18:30 - Wash-up & prepare everything for tomorrow
18:45 - Shake
18:50 - Yoga, core & flexibility exercises
20:00 - Sleep

In order to be as efficient as possible in the morning I will be getting everything prepared in the evening. My energy drink will be made and on the bike. Shoes will be ready, bibs ready, laptop & software loaded and ready. Breakfast and coffee maker will be prepared and ready to go... All I should need to do is turn the coffee maker on, mix water with the breakfast mix and get changed/on the bike.

Will be interesting to see how this goes as it doesn't leave much room for error. Hopefully it should get more efficient as time goes on which should make it easier. I also have a few ideas in the back of my mind for making it more manageable although these would mean making greater changes to areas I would rather leave unchanged. Things like moving the Trainerroad plan around to fit in better with my Friday afternoons off or changing working hours etc.

... we will see how it goes first.

  1. Blimee! That is serous stuff. You must have an understanding partner, if I stuck to that I would be single by Christmas!

    1. Lol... Thankfully we have no kids and she is investing a similar amount of time into her training :)
