Week 7

Another week another rest day, and another feeling of satisfaction in knowing I've put a good week behind me.

I hit the pool on Tuesday morning with the expectation that I'd continue with the progress made last week; and I wasn't disappointed. The main set was 16 x 25m, 1 x 400m, 16 x 25m; and it felt quite effortless throughout.

Another good 60 minute Z2 run on Tuesday evening; but I just can't wait for the weather to improve, these cold evening runs just aren't fun.

Wednesday morning was rowing, followed by a strength and core session.

A nice 60 minutes Z1 on the turbo; this is how all Wednesday evenings should be spent.

Thursday's swim set was 1 x 300m, 3 x 200m, 1 x 300m - felt good again. 

The brick session was another 45/15 set on the turbo and running the streets, thankfully it was just cold this week compared to cold, wet and windy last week.

Good Friday, which means I can treat myself to a lie in, so why on Earth did I get up at 7:30? Got out running nice and early for this 75 minute run and it was another rewarding Z2 session.

Another cold morning another early session, went out for a 2:30 ride with Jason Cuthbert who was back on home soil for a visit. 

It was a very productive ride with all variety of terrain. We had short sharp climbs, long steady drags; all very relevant to the route in Pembrokeshire.

My legs were heavy on Sunday's 75 minutes Z2 run, carrying the after effects of the run and ride of the last two days, the route I chose was the reverse of Friday's run.
