After a quite worrying start ( heart issue) managed 11 hours last week.
The usual stuff and no repeat of my hr being stuck but still keeping an eye on it.
Highlight was 3 watts per kg for an hour straight into 20 mins at 4:18 kms and the hr was under 160 ( just )
Very sweaty ride around lunch. First couple of hours started okay, but around 90 minutes in, the sweat was pouring out of me, so needed a good rehydrate. Last 90 minutes were grim.
Friday looks cooler, so hoping I can get out without looking like I’ve jumped in a pool after an hour.
First day of the summer holidays, the wife has taken the kids to her parents for a couple of days and the suns been shining (some intermittent rain)
Cracking lie-in and pottered around the house. Finally pulled my finger out and got out for a gentle 100km ride with a lunch stop. Sunning myself in the garden once home, then a quick snack before heading out for the club track session. First time I’ve run on a track since I was year ten at school, so around 24 years. Nice session of decreasing time intervals starting with six, down to one.
I’ve even bought myself a pizza and garlic bread while I watching some crap on tv with a couple of 0%s to wash it down with.
They’re not back until lunchtime tomorrow so I’ll get out for another ride, forecast is looking a bit dodge though
(Let’s just forget I’m doing Outlaw at the weekend)
Dropped daughter off at work for her 7-7 shift at the hospital this morning. Was at work myself before 7am.
When her shift finished I ran from my office to her hospital - hard 6 min intervals. 6km done. We then both ran the final 6.5 km home. Really enjoyed it and she got a PR for 5km since starting training for London mara - she was made up.
You might be pleased to hear that your influence runs far and wide. Ages ago I said to Mrs FP. ‘You know my mate Phillip, the one that actually knows what he’s doing, well he does yoga with Adrienne online’. etc etc, no response apart from to bang on about maths or St Swithuns or somesuch.
Anyway, this morning, the first day of school hols I get a txt from Mrs FP. ‘What was the name of that yoga channel that your mate does?’
I told her and they both did a session today and thoroughly enjoyed it
