JG had a meltdown

Monday things caught up with me, work, housework and training, I had a melt down and it was not pretty. I am wondering if my workout schedule is to intense. It has me doing something 1-2hours + a day except on Fridays. I know that does not sound like much to some but to someone who works all day ,has a house to run and is old and out of shape, it might be to much.

Below is what I did this week, there was more but I did what i could. Sometimes I cut stuff due to time other times I just couldnt do it.

Your Workouts for Saturday:

Workout #2: Bike, Planned duration: 1:30 , Planned distance:

Start in big ring, easiest gear. Spend ~30' gradually working your way up to the hardest you can handle riding 30' in, not worrying about cadence. Leaving it in big ring, hardest possible gear, do 10 x (30" grind, 30" all out, 30" grind, 30" stand) into 5' grind in big ring, hardest gear you can handle. 10' easy small ring spin. Do 5 x (30" grind, 30" all out, 30" grind, 30" stand) into 10' grind in big ring, hardest gear you can handle. Gradually work your back to your easiest gear by 1' for cool-down. Grind means sitting back on saddle, turning pedals over, not worrying about cadence, which should be around 60 or so.

Your Workouts for Sunday:
Workout #1: Run, Planned duration: 1:30 , Planned distance:

Run on a flat course or treadmill. Keep HR in Zone 1-2, no higher than the top of Z2. Include 2x30' of running at 20 beats below LT from run test. Recovery is 5' in Zone 1. Think about running like a Kenyan - smooth and efficient! Stretch when done and add in Core 1, 2 or 3. This run should be between 75-90' long depending on fitness level.

Monday:
Workout #1: Bike, Planned duration: 0:40 , Planned distance:
