This week has ended up being a pretty decent training week all things considered.
I managed a treadmill run on Monday, a rest day on Tuesday then on Wednesday a 6km treadmill run at lunchtime then in the evening 15km run over the Wrekin (quite hill). All been at low heart rate and at 8min mile pace. It's actually pretty refreshing and relaxing running an easy pace as opposed to blasting out quick 5miles all the time.
This morning i went to the pool before lunch and did 10 sets of 200m. Started pretty quick (again, for me) but slowed considerably as the sets progressed.
Tomorrow i will get out for a run and am tempted to try the Gloucester Tri cycle route - have to see how it goes and how i am doing for time. Will be 6miles at least that's for sure.
As anyone who knows me knows i have become the king of podcasts!! Zen and the Art of Triathlon, Quadrathlon, Running Stupid, Endurance Planet, Zen is Stupid (shall i go on!!??) are all on my iPhone and get me through quiet days. There's a ton of interesting stuff out there and i am learning a lot about training and nutrition plus they are pretty entertaining. I am also finding them incredibly motivational as most are by people with lives who fit training in which is my biggest problem - time.
The TriClub are getting together on Sunday minus Nigel who's playing golf or something gay like that. We're doing a couple laps of the Gloucester Tri cycle route then a 7km run. Should be a good session and the forecast is good.
Happy training!
