Another hard week but actually felt a bit stronger this week so maybe I broke through the plateau!! Hope so!
Monday
REST! and a SPORTS MASSAGE with Nuneaton Sports Injuries - wonderful!
Tuesday:
Long Run - 17.5 miles at a pace of 9:14mins/mile which was a big improvement on last week and I felt a lot stronger in the last few miles than last week so that was encouraging! GOt home, Ice showered my legs (Oooooooof!) and did some stretching.
Wednesday:
REST! Well core and stretching but essentially rest!
Thursday:
Cycled to work and back - 15miles there and 22 back. Average of 13.5 - 14mph which isnt bad on Claud! I really did feel tired when I got home though but was pleased with best part of 40miles in the bag ;o)
Friday:
INtervals!! 4 x 5min sprints with 1 min recoveries. Best Interval was 7:43mins/mile, slowest was 8:08 so Not bad! Recoveries were around the 9:15-9:30 mins/mile but Id prefer to see a bigger spike inbetween the intervals and the recovery! That means faster sprinting!
Saturday:
6 hours on the Turbo in the Nuneaton Ropewalk shopping Centre! Was worth it as we raised a fantastic amount but my bum was numb by the finish!
Sunday:
The weather was DIRE! But I made up my mind I wanted to cycle so me and one other lunatic "Wheeler" set out on a wet and wild 35 miler! Not before I had to swap from Gerard to Claud due to a flat tyre! Made me realise how much heavier Claud is than the milano as I was getting unceremoniously dumped on the hills! Still it made me work hard and as the ride was only short it wasnt a bad thing! Was damn FREEZIN when I got home but very smug in the afternoon that I had gone and done something productive :D
