Training - What Training?!

Not a great week, as expected, but still got 5 activities in so that’s a bonus.

Jumped on zwift for a quick hour this afternoon when an opportunity opened. Did 20 mins with Coco, then decided I needed more of a workout. So I dialled up to just over HIM power. Target is probs 220-225, I aimed for 230-235 or so for 30 mins in one block.

Tbh it felt quite hard after about 20 mins. Which is a hit worrying. I guess I could’ve probably held it, just about, for an hour but it would’ve completely rinsed me. Getting a bit jittery about my bike. But think that’s just the usual training ups and downs.

Didn’t have time to swim though unfortunately. Unless 25 mins on a paddleboard counts?! :joy:

On the upside, did have a great 10 days with the girls. So there is that.

1,500m drills.
Threw in some 25s and 50s.

50s coming out at 39-40s.
25s at 19-20s.

I guess that’s my “pace” @Chriswim & @joex :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m good for the 25m time, think my 50s are more like 45 though. Depending on whether you believe the watch or the clock :wink:

Still feel really tired today but went and got a 5x5 session done at lunch.

Back up to where I was before a week off and deloading. Got some knee tendon pain now though. Getting old sucks. Might just be tightness in my quad. Maybe I need to get some of those knee sleeves

I know, just saw that. Craziness.

That’s a crazy ride but what’s with the imperial units of measurement? And if we’re going old school, why isn’t the power in HP :racehorse:

But yeah, wow

Hit a low after 4 hours. There was a flat section on canal path, with a 15-20kph head wind, ill take hills any day over this. However as the ride went on i felt better and better. Food was power bars and fanta, very under fueled compared with IM races, but that was partly the point.
