Just more training!

I went out on my bike early on Monday, I rode a 90min loop before heading home because I was feeling kinda crappy. Then I rushed off to Loughborough which is about a 2 hour drive away for a meeting at British Triathlon. I ended up being longer than I expected and, despite trying, I didn’t make it home in time for the swim session which annoyed me but it was out of my control.

Tuesday morning there was torrential rain but I still met up with Janine to do a 17km XC run. The farmers decided to start ploughing the fields so we got covered in mud, it felt like I was running with bricks on my feet! It took us 1hr20mins but it was a great run and I am looking forward to the same thing next Tuesday.
Later that evening we did a 4km swim session, the main set was 10x100m hard, I was told to make sure I kept under 1:15 and I was averaging around 1:12 so I was happy with that plus it felt pretty smooth.

On Wednesday I did a very hard bike session I pushed all the way for 90mins and the route had a few good climbs in it too. Then I had a few hours to refuel with a roast dinner before heading out on a 50min steady run with Jutta.

Thursday I went to the gym and did a brick session; 2x (30min bike 10mins run)
Then I went straight into 40mins of stretch and core work.

For the first time since I got back to the UK I got up and did the early morning swim! We did 5.6km long distance work; the main set was 800m then 2x400m followed by a max distance 10min swim and 12x100m off 1:30. Surprisingly I felt really good and worked hard so it ended up being a great workout.
Later on I decided to do a longer brick session so I did a 1hr15min turbo (wind trainer) session, then straight into a 30min progressive run.
