Training - What Training?!

I drove 1.3km to the pool due to the wind and rain.
I felt bad about it :see_no_evil::sob:

It was about the same distance to my old pool at Winchester College when we lived in town. If I went on my own, I’d walk but often my neighbour would go and insisted on driving so I’d go with her.

Zero guilt :laughing:

0 training over the bank holiday weekend but plenty of walking (and carrying) with the kids.

Last week = mini recovery. I’m going to ramp up this week and then mini recovery before Southport Tri on 16th May. It’s only Olympic - no need to taper!

Double session this morning due to the pool closure last night.

Then up to the gym for treadmill intervals

I went for a run :scream: Forst use of Forerunner 45

Strava has a different summary than Garmin. Some interesting numbers in there.

Like @adam says, Strava is a random number generator

(Without getting into the fact there are no random number generators)

Haha.

I only jest that their power figures are always different to what my bolt and then TP states.

They must have their own algorithm for calculating NP. Or weighted power as they call it!

So 3 weeks since my knee injury returned ( only a few twinges, not a full scale MCL strain ) Its been a balancing act ever since.
Thankfully swimming and the gym opened the day after my knee started playing up, so I’ve been able to occupy myself with that, and steady sessions on the turbo.
Still doesn’t feel 100% but I’m doing ramps up to FTP and its not causing an issue.
12x100m at the pool today then straight to the gym for an hour on the bike.
Tomorrow is strength work and bike commute, then Friday will be my first run in nearly a month. Will probably do 10k easy run walk intervals.
