Training - What Training?!

Sleep score was ‘only’ 86. Garmin has me as massively overreaching and that’s with only a handful of not particularly taxing sessions…

Mine are typically asleep by 8 - 8:30 have been waking the buggers up in the morning since they’ve been back at school.

I’ve had it with most of the stats on Garmin, back to just using it for exercise tracking.

Not a vote against them, more that I don’t really think it was helping anymore, and I’m tired of wearing a Garmin all the time.

Finally got in an easy 30mins on the trainer before work, let’s see if I can get to the office nowwithout a panic :shaking_face:

Gym first thing. Lot of supersets. Lot of muscular endurance.

Wednesday

AM - :person_biking: 32 minutes with12 minutes just under threshold
was absolutely freezing, so cut short what was going to be an hour session.

PM - Lunchtime :person_running: 8km Intensive endurance - 38’, 4:44min/km.
Good session felt strong throughout, although a bit of knee pain in the first half, not had any knee pain for about 5 years so it was a bit of a shock. Seemed to clear up though, hope its not something that comes back in the coming weeks

Thursday

AM - :person_biking: 60 minutes with 12’, 10’, 8’ and 4’ minutes just under threshold, similar to the session I intended to do yesterday (Wednesday.) Ended up with 34-minutes time in zone (TiZ), really enjoyed it.

PM - Lunchtime :person_running: Easy 7km with 4x short strides - 5:29 min/km
Got totally soaked, but enjoyed that more than the runs in the ice and snow last week. It might have been very wet but there was almost no wind so it was actually pleasant and a nice temperature.

As per the rant thread I tried going to the gym but my arms were heavy and tired so it was a bit half-hearted.

I then had an easy 6K plod while the GF was at the shop.

Doffs cap. Nearly an hour on the treadmill, I don’t think I’ve got the mental capacity for that.

Managed 103km ride with 2400m elevation gain in today, in 5hrs.

2 runs of 12km in 1hr01, 260m elevation gain, and 2 indoor bikes of 45mins, 1hr15, so far this week.

Managing to be fairly consistent, averaging 8hrs a week in the last 12 weeks. Gradually going to build on that now. Finally feel like I’m making a step forward in fitness.

Went for a run. Didn’t really want to.

I have a few usual routes and decided to let fate decide how far I was going to go… at each junction the first car I saw, if the number was odd I would go onwards, if it was even I’d head home. This ended up being one of my standard 10k routes.

Until I ended up with the “home or hill” options… it lead to hill… a punchy little number. How many reps? Well that’s down to the last number on the first car I saw. Of course it was a '19 reg. The last two reps were a real struggle!
