Tuesday:
Cycled to work! Went the direct way on the way there and felt pretty darn good and made good time :) On the way home I did the slightly longer route and although a bit slower it was against the wind....Ooooof!
Total of 21 miles done today.
Wednesday:
Spinning! Another fast paced interval session working on endurance to start with as if you were climbing a hill then moving onto sprints. Hard work!
Thursday:
Long Run! 15 miles in 2hrs 23 mins giving an average pace of 9:28 mins/mile. I have to say I was very dissapointed with the run. Its the slowest I have run for a good while and although I cant be running full throttle on every run I did want my "easy" runs to be around the 9:10 min/mile mark. And it felt HARD!!! Really struggled today, no endorphin high and I was a misery guts when I finished! Plus I dont mind admitting the thought of running the marathon after this performance has really scared the shit out of me! :o( I persevered with the Ice Bath and froze my sorry ass off! Then massaged my legs. I have to say that this is definitely helping the recovery process so I shall reluctantly continue with the ffffffrrrrrrreeeeeeezin water! Oh yes, I am having my SIS Recovery shakes too that I got left over from the bike challenge last year. Its all working well. Shame my legs arent! lol
Saturday:
5 hours cycling on the turbo trainer in the shopping centre! I did try and mix it up a bit by standing / sitting / high / low resistance......last hour was hard going both physically and mentally. Its definately easier when you cycle for real! At least the scenery takes your mind off it a bit! Numb Bum saturday eve!
Sunday:
Hill Repeats...........OOOOOOOF!!! That kinda sums it up! Did just over 1.5 mile to warm up then did six X hill repeats approx 1.3 min up with a 2 min recovery jog back down. Worked really hard and thought I was gonna hurl after number 6! Intervals ranged from 8.06 mins/mile to 8.17mins per mile. Not bad up quite a steep hill :)
If im gonna sum the week up - Id say slightly below par. Felt quite tired.
