Training - What Training?!

My week in the sun has come to an end clocked up 22 hours of training with 90 km of running and 360km on the bike in the wind. Thankfully no swimming

Did 25mins lifting, 55kg dead, 55kg squat, 25kg press, 25kg bench

Physio has prescribed rows. :sweat_smile: Plus other stuff, so strength has to come back in;

4x8 heavy rows
Lateral pull downs

Rows are with slightly different form, so might need to rest the bar off the floor.

Plus a kind of arm raise that squeezes the shoulder blades, and “nodding dog” for muscles in the back of my neck.

5 mile run followed by PT session pb’d my deadlift on the trap bar - now at 80kg . As a 5ft 3 , 54 year old woman I’m very happy with that.

13km run along The Thames on a stunning morning with Mrs T.

Impressed that we managed to get up at 6:30 to get out just after sunrise.

That looks great!

I got a swim in this morning, just about. Started twenty minutes late, 2150m and kicked out.

Trying to work on interval pacing is pretty hard with breast strokers in the fast lane. I wish someone would convey that keeping to the sides makes plenty of space for all paces in a double lane.
