game of cricket joking, not really
90 minutes 3x 10 minute over/unders
2km back tight but semi okay, didnt want to risk being out in a down pour
Although, that didnt happen for 50 minute so could have got a 10km in. Oh well.
I’ve still got so much to learn at the gym & here’s another thing.
8km treadmill run.
4 x 1k build, x 2.
Got out on the MTBs in the Quantocks with Junior #3.
Beautiful but properly wet, muddy and hilly on the Macmillan Way.
We were out for 2 hours & I got pretty cold in the last half hour. Going was super-slow on the trail with the water, mud and leaves so we hared it home on the lanes in a downpour.
Just had a long shower and and now wrapped up in a blanket with the cat on me and contemplating a tinny (me, not the cat)
2 hours on the turbo
Sweating absolute buckets.
Saving the legs a little as I’m off to be a middle aged raver tonight, seeing Underworld.
Bologna, that is all.
RIP ![]()
Got out for a walk on the edge of the moor. River was high and powerful as you’d expect with the amount of rain we’ve endured lately!
Managed to avoid the rain for 80% of the walk though.
You had blue sky!!!
A few patches here and there, yep! Sun beaming through the moss and trees. Was lovely, albeit not very long lasting!
Lots and lots of rainbows today though. ![]()
Thursday 5k easy run
Friday 5k easy run
Saturday 11k run - 6k easy, 5k steady/moderate
Saturday 30 min turbo - 3 sets of 4 reps of 30s on 30s off
Easy bike with two short hard sprints
Been a decent week.
Still not managed to get out for a longish ride in what seems like ages. I had that funeral on Friday, but the weather was so shit that I would have found another excuse anyway
.
Highlights were a couple of decent runs. One was 2*(2*1km into 4**45sec uphill sprints) & the other a 15km trail run with 1000m climb…I’ll pay for that over the next few days ![]()
Shall get along for a club swim tonight as a swim buddy has a birthday & is bringing cake ![]()
Split workout.
3km treadmill run.
20 minute metcon workout.
Moderate 18km (~75-80% of estimated 5km, 84% of Threshold) but with the warm-up and some strides a Half Marathon training run.
Session
Result
Half-Marathon --1:46:49 – 5:04 min/km – 148 bpm
Edit the strides were nice and smooth
- 3:48 min/km
- 3:40 min/km
- 3:35 min/km
- 3:27 min/km
To only reason I mention it is because on the last one I caught and over took someone. I felt like a bit of a ‘dick’ to be honest, but hey, the session was the session. What do people do in a similar situation?
Another fairly poor week but got a bit of respectability today with a ride outside! Managed 71k, was a slog at times though and the longest I’ve exercised for a while.
The week wasn’t helped by being away then not knowing whether I was coming down with something, and only running 6K. Including the power hike on Monday I managed about 7.5 hours, that excludes a couple of gym sessions though.
hopefully we might start getting some better weekends for cycling!
An hour in the pool with littlish one
Finished the week on 7 hours
3 runs with today being 24km
2 x 1 hr on the turbo
2 x swims
Short gym weights session, working on my bench.
The run today, did 11km warmup solo and then joined a couple of clubmates for a hilly and incredibly muddy 13k trail run.
Not feeling it this week, but still had some good workouts and hit some good intensity (for me)
Late night last night plus apathy meant just over an hour on the turbo.
Ticked off all the remaining Tour de Zwift routes so a nice XP bonus
11 hours for the week.
Tomorrow will be 1hr 45min on the treadmill first thing to start the week off with some misery
