This week was 63 miles of running, 1500 yards of swimming and 12 "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
Just a routine week (and it's nice to be in a routine). I was pretty happy with my workouts, as they seem to indicate an improvement in fitness.
One change I did make was adding in a very short jog before my Thursday pool-run. In pre-Covid 19 times, I would do a shorter pool-run on Mondays and a longer one on Thursday. But now I'm limited to 45 minutes each day (which I stretch to 50 minutes). I think my fitness has suffered from the decrease in volume, and I'm hoping that adding a short very slow jog on Thursdays will add a slight bit of volume while still maintaining the balance of training that works best for me.
Monday: 5 "miles" of pool-running and upper body weights/core. Foam rolling at night.
Tuesday: 12 miles including a track workout of 2x1600, 2x800m in 6:24, 6:14, 3:02, 3:00; 5 minute recoveries after the 1600s and 2:30 recovery between the 800s. Followed with leg strengthwork and 500 yards recovery swimming. Foam rolling in evening.
Wednesday: 10.5 miles very easy on treadmill (9:11), plus drills, followed by streaming yoga. Foam rolling at night.

Friday: 12 miles including a 4 mile tempo in 25:42 (6:25/6:32/6:22/6:23). Followed with leg strengthwork and 500 yards recovery swimming. Foam rolling at night.
Saturday: 11 miles very easy (8:46), plus drills, 6 steep hill sprints, and streaming yoga. Foam rolling in the afternoon.
