65km road ride. Steady-ish; looooong coffee stop.
Spin class before work. Short run at lunch.
Another double day. Gym first thing, short run at lunch.
5km trail run and 40 mins strength, day 41 Caroline Girvan"s epic 3 series. Glutes and abs today.
4th day of the sore throat.
Feels like I constantly need to cough, but then when I do itās super painful and like razor blades
No fun
Definitely something going about at the moment. Iām hopefully just coming out of this. Started on Sunday as well
Did my 5km trail round, the long hill in the middle (138 meters vert over 1.5km) was a struggle today. But Iām loving running in the forest again.
40 mins strength, upper body today, epic 3 day 42. Uff was a tough one ![]()
5km on the treadmill. Sweat pit.
Did that this morning for 50 mins
Could have wrung my shirt out at the end
Went for a longāish swim, 3.2k in just over an hour.
Most remarkable thing was that I didnāt need to get out for the loo at all
(and no, I didnāt go in the pool either
)
5km easy round town with Mrs this morning, and then 5 x 800m on the 'mill this evening.
Treadmill grim as anticipated
Gym first thingā¦. ![]()
Managed a whole 625m yesterday stinking cold (had it since my 24km last Saturday)
Surely today must be better, hope to get something strictly easy done later.
Can no longer defer IM Calella-Barcelona, the deadline to defer was yesterday, guess Iām giving it a go then.
Another rough night of coughing razor blades.
Taken all the drugs and at work
That would be very worrying if your worked for Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson and the like.
But the drugs donāt work, they just make you worse.
75km on the bike, with quite a lot of climbing.
I can assure both you, and Richard Ashcroft, that they are working very well
Lovely 2hr hike on Friday and went climbing for the first time since Easter yesterday. More climbing today, need to regain my climbing fitness. Climbed till everything hurt yesterday, hands were burning, toes were screaming in the tight shoes. All my calluses have gone, need to get ugly feet and hands again ![]()
