Well that went crap. Ran 4.5kms to the m/c mechanic as I’d ordered some fairing clips. Kept the pace low and all ok on the way but I could slightly feel that upper thigh tightness.
I got more painful at 7km and by 7.5km I was walking.
I have a 30km fairly flat New Forest run a week on Sunday. hmmm
My life is quite boring now
No job
No responsibility
No grief … I guess I put myself here ?!
I saved a big bag of cash sitting in the same place for 11 hours at a time watching a prisoner who said they were going to kill them self
No phone
No tele
And towards the end no books !
I’m not sure I really know what boring is ?
Comfort wise
Assos bum cream
Raceskin ld tri shorts ( best thing I ever bought )
Won’t need the dash 9 saddle till 3 hours plus !
Hit 12 hours this week (being honest I have no excuse not to do this many with the time I have )
Long ish static bike
First successful 160 lengths in an hour effort this year ? I think ( it’s a tiny pool and I’m still crap slow )
And my usual 10 k run 5 k ski 5 k row today
Slightly faster run speed.
Started my strength training sessions
Leg lifts are awful but I’d hope for better in the future
I almost went for a swim yesterday but was tired so floated round the spa for an hour instead. Sauna, steam, jacuzzi. Didnt put it on strava, that seemed extravagant.
It’s taken me a while but it dawned on me last week how people do 10hr plus weeks of training around a full time job. I generally average about 5-6 hours a week. Last week I was dog sitting and logged all the dog walks and got to a 12 hour week. I’d only consider maybe 5 hours of that week as actual “training” in my traditional interpretation.
I sure as heck didn’t run, cycle or swim in that week
10 or above is pretty big for me and usually summer only when I do longer bike rides, or races.
About 7.5-8 for me this week which was quite a lot more than recently but mostly bumped by a longer Zwift yesterday which has left me a bit fatigued today.
37K running as well so not bad but had hoped for longer, weather didn’t help during the week either.
Just been on the bike solid for two weeks. Fuck the weather - double gloves and tin foil in the socks.
15 to 40 miles, 6 days a week. Feel more normal again. Body back to it’s better self. Crazy how the muscles slacken a bit at this age. Good it doesn’t take too long to get back ok though
No discernible improvement with quad issue but apparently 6 - 8 weeks so cycling etc and all being well will be fine. If persists I may need it looked at more thoroughly although I don’t think it will need that
