I clearly have much to learn!
Not heavy and not very fast. Just thought I’d see what it’s like. The RPE was massive but I found I was able to run despite it. …I did do a lot of holding on to things gasping though.

The first couple of sims are a shock to the system one way or another
The good runners struggle to lift and the lifters struggle to run
Some people who are good at both struggle to put it together and people who not paticulary good at either manage to pull out a good race.
It’s weird
Try it again, your body adapts quite quickly to be honest
Anyway … this should be in the new fantastic hyrox thread before the pencil necks start bitching ( again! )
Lolz.

Not sure where to put this but this seems the best place. Me and the guys I cycle with had a session at Manchester velodrome. It was good fun. A few of us have been before and they told us to create a pace line on the blue line and do through and off. Every lap the leader would swing up and rejoin, then every half lap.
She said if we come back soon and do as well we can beome ‘regular riders’. Feels loke a good way to add a bit of variety to bike training.

About 7 for me, with slightly more running than cycling and even had a full day off on Monday after the race last weekend.
Couple of harder efforts on Zwift and the parkrun yesterday.
Had planned on a slightly easier week after the race and a few aches.
Token effort in the gym which I need to increase.

Feeling better in the last 4-6 hrs hope that continues to be the case. Worst week since 2017, when I stopped training almost totally for 4 months. Even worst than the week or two I had covid.

I’m suffering a bit too.
Saturday morning saw a kid with a throat infection, took a swab but as I touched his tonsils with the swab he coughed in my masked face.
Strep test lit up like a beacon
that evening I started to get a sore throat
luckily I know someone who can prescribe me the appropriate antibiotic and started it straight away, but still feeling a little crook.
The glamour

Yesterday 3 x 1k flat out on the treadmill, with 0.5k recovery inbetween.
This morning 45 minute spin class. Really hard.
Since I’ve finished feel lightheaded and a bit woozy. Think I’ve overdone it.
