1x 50m Warm Up 1x 50m Fist Swim 1x 100m Stretch 1x 500m (250m 5:50, 400m 9:50, 500m 12:00) 1x 50m Shoulder Touch 1x 50m Fist Swim 1x 100m Zip Swim 1x 250m (6:00 min)So after a relatively successful swim I thought Saturday would be a good time to try another brick session. 9am rolls around and off I set into the frost dusted morning down the cycle track aiming to be only as good as my last session. A slightly longer route this week but only 2 seconds in the 16k (10mile race distance) so all in all quite chuffed as it felt agonisingly slow at times. The initial stages were fairly painful due to forgetting my gloves so I was glad to return home with all fingers in tact!!
Parking the bike up I was in 2 minds whether to do the run as the week before was particularly difficult as I couldn't feel my toes, feet, ankles & knees! Putting that out of my mind off I trot on the old faithful route - still not feeling my toes, feet, ankles or knees & fingers this time! Having completed the 4k route I was slightly slower than last week but the knee was much sorer and still aches a little now - back to the docs it would seem!
Well a week off work now so hopefully plenty of training to be done including testing out the new semi-slick tyres for the MTB and maybe even back out into the trails for a run!
