Ill, thought I see if I really was, made 1km

Monday
Sleep, sleep, nothing else except as little as possible at work

Tuesday
Against advice; a little run, doing nothing was driving me mad (and was feeling a bit better)
:person_running: 8km easy run (had only intended 4km, but it was lovely to be out in the fresh air, although a bit muggy)

Wednesday
:person_running: 6km Easy
:person_biking: 32m very easy bike but HR very elevated, so rest, sleep recovery the main focus for the next… ?

Cycled home from work

No watch

No power record

No …Strava! :zany_face:

Also felt weird. I think I liked it. I’m not really training so I won’t post in this thread either. Secret exercise…could it be the way forward? :rofl:

I specifically meant the training thread… i dont enter the ā€˜darkside’ these days.

Although less daylight I might make a return.

Was supposed to climb this evening, but my climbing partner cancelled last minute. So, 40 mins strength: abs and glutes today.

I think might be happy in the ā€œit didn’t happenā€ space.

And then, mysteriously, he disappeared from the internet…

Managed my fruity approved hour for the day, split pretty much 50/50 between a swim and easy Zwift.

If the weather holds tomorrow I’m planning on a couple of hours on the bike outside.

Still painful blocked ears but much better than the last few days.

More very easy ticking over work mainly in the hope it would clear the Eustachian congestion.

:man_running: 2km easy
:man_biking: 36 minutes ~150 watts, average 107bpm (max 116bpm) still elevated for the power and HR drift when there normally isnt any at that effort.

:man_swimming: Pool - 500m 11 minutes, best 400m of the year 8:32 ish, just happened not pushing and not fast but good for me.
:person_running: 5km 27-minutes ish, hammered it down otherwise would have done 15km+

Still not right…

Possibly last OWS before Spain tomorrow.

Sunday

:woman_biking: 26-minutes with a 5 minute TT effort

Years best by 2w for 5-minutes 260w

Can’t clear the ear infection but at least it seems I have a decent base fitness.

5hr 35 minutes for the week, still ticking over. The IM is going to be very uncomfortable but I guess thats why we do this…
