Break


I am going to take a break from blogging. 

It has just become a tracker for training and since I am not going to be racing any more there is no reason to be training and there isn't any real point in blogging about what I am not doing.

Training Plan - Week 2 - Jan 7 to 13

Back in to a 'normal' week and my main target for this week is not to turn it into just a boring commuting week where I rack up a load of slow miles. Monday evening is the first TPT Club swimming session of the new year, that limits me to a bike commute and sounds like I have got in with the excuses to just do lazy commuting instead of smarter sessions on Day 1.  Tuesday I am going to cycle in and run home. Then in the evening it is a short reps swim. Short reps and short total, something along the lines of 25x50m, or 12x100m.  Wednesday I am going to run in and cycle home. That takes care of most of my aerobic fitness and easy run miles for the week. Thursday evening is my third swim session of the week. This time a longer reps session. 5x200m, 5x100m, 5x50m.  Thursday and Friday I am planning to ride in to, and out from, work mostly because it is the easiest way to commute. I don't need the miles though so either of these might get dropped for the train and so...

Christmas Day

Yes, I am going to come back to regular posts. I will do an end of year round up and then set my stall out for next year. Maybe less dense than before though.  Today was Xmas; Starting with the good, I got some lovely presents, had a good run, including a 20:09 Parkrun, and spent a great day with my family.  On the bad, my best pal Dexter is in a really shit state and there is a serious chance that he only has a couple of weeks left to live. There is a possibility that he will beat his current disease and recover but it is highly unlikely. This means he hasn't come back with me for his normal Xmas holiday, so I am alone again  for the next 10 days rather than having him for company. He is also unlikely to be the only one missing from Xmas 2020. My dad, my remaining granny and her annoying little Westie are all unlikely to make it another year.

Training Review - Week 20 - May 13 to 19

Monday was hard work. My legs are still very heavy from racing on Saturday and my sunburn is very painful. I took a pair of easy rides but the weight of my backpack was pretty intense on the burns. In the evening I went to swimming. The first 30 minutes or so was fine but beyond that I started to run in to a wall of fatigue and the pace dropped off.  Tuesday I did an easy ride in to the office and then an easy run home. Only neither were easy. It still feels like I am using someone else legs. That didn't improve when I went to the pool in the evening. I started a reps session, struggled through 4 x 50m and then bailed out for an easy recovery swim.  Wednesday I abandoned my plan to run to work and instead just jogged round to the train. I am still not in the shape to run two 7 milers for consecutive commutes. After work I went to see the Detective Pikachu movie before riding home. The lack of traffic on that ride took the best part of 3 minutes off the time.  Thursd...
