Training - What Training?!

I didn’t get my recovery right, from yesterday to today, mainly hydration leading into today.

Not enough “Fizzys”

Still did 90 minutes on the bike with a 24 minute effort.

Not in the mood for training at the moment

Gaining waist cms though, so need to get a moderate amount going.

That was how I felt this morning so skipped the swim and had an extra hour in bed.
TBF it was the first swim I’ve missed in about 5 weeks.

Little lunchtime run so as to not feel like a lazy [something], 5.5km 5:18 /km

Went outside for a ride today, only 64K and was pretty breezy, Garmin reckons I averaged 198W, not sure it’s reading a bit high but it was hard work into the wind at times and the poor tarmac so probably correct.

Then had a short spin on Zwift before a 3K brick run, which was particularly unpleasant :joy: Been coughing and spluttering but largely over whatever I had, although everything is still hard work.

Hoping to go to the gym quickly in a short while for a bit of arm cardio or possibly a swim. I managed 1.1k last night but was a bit sore afterwards.

So much for dipping your toe in the water with a few 5/10km runs!

3km OWS this morning.

No breathlessness or panic attacks which was nice.

Pace slow but consistent

Had to wait for a new tumble dryer today and by the time it came I CBA with a long run, so sneaked in a 5 mile Royal Flush. Went off a bit too quick but second speedy session in 2 days

Haha. Stupidity. Lots of stupidity. And a healthy dose of bloody mindedness. It was supposed to be a 60km hike. But as always, as soon as we left the car we started running (albeit slowly). Legs aren’t super bad. Back is OK thankfully.

Baffling me how I can barely put socks on still with my back hurting, but I can bat a 60km 2000m elevation day out in the sun ok.

But Yeah it was an absolute cracker thanks!. Though my legs are on fire now after my shower with bramble cuts and nettle stings. Fair bit of sunburn and chafe too. :grimacing: Some of the trails were pretty horrific! :joy:

I can imagine you’ve had some pretty despondent days over the last few months. Ticking off a day out like that will be great for your heid :pinched_fingers:.
