That said I
have pushed myself and still done the training planned for me (well sort of!!!)
Sunday – Long
run
It didn’t go
as I planned as my garmin didn’t pick up signal at all and my ipod wasn’t
charged. I think I did 4 miles and I had
an emergency toilet break at the local gym. I am going to have to get this
sorted! Sorry if this is TMI – I am a
sharer! I turned back earlier than
planned but at least I was out there.
Monday - run and swim
Run went well
and was pleased with it. I really
struggled to get out the door for a swim but my hubby made me and I had a
fantastic swim. I was really pleased
with myself. The schedule was to
complete 3 sets of 500m (or 20 length) and time it. The last two sets must be equal to or faster
than the first set. It all went and I swam
a mile which made me very happy.
At the end of
the session I was asked if I would like to join the proper swimmers (that is what my sister and I call
them) and do some drills next week. I am
nervous of the idea but think I will give it a go. I am slower than them so it concerns me.
Tuesday - fast bike
I got up nice
and early and went on my exercise bike I did an easy setting but fast for 40
minutes. I was sweating at the end and
really enjoyed i.
Wednesday - Running club
This went
very wrong! I was ill when I got in and
even nodded off on the settee. I had a
long hot bath while watching a programme on my tablet and was in bed by 9pm
with my alarm set for 5.45 to go swimming.
Thursday - Swim and run
I got up and
went and after feeling rotten the day before it was very questionable. I did my short training session for 40
minutes. It included 400m using my pull buoy
and 600m without. I also tried to do
laps with tumble turns but I am struggling with these. I scared myself by getting half the pool up
my nose which was not pleasant to say the least!
I went
running at lunch time and was worried that I still felt tired but actually had
a nice run. We did 3.5 miles at steady
pace and I enjoyed it.
Friday – Run
and Spinning
We decided to
keep the run easy as we all are struggling at the moment and think there is a
bug going round. We did a hilly 3 miles
but to be honest there were more down hills than up.
Spinning was
good fun but my legs were burning when we did repeated in and out the saddle climbs. I am pleased I went through as really enjoyed
it. Not sure how I am going to manage running after it. I plan to run home from spinning come the
middle of April.
Saturday - rest day and I did rest. I also went shopping and finally got my hair cut!
I seem to be
getting my eating sorted and not as hungry this week but my stomach is not a
happy bunny. I am still trying a few
things and think it might be the thicker yogurts that I have been eating.
How are your
training plans coming along and do you have a go to pre-workout snack?
A Sprint Tri is all about floating, hammering, and jogging.... most of the event is the bike. Spend some time on a road bike.
ReplyDeletethank you, that is my plan to get out on my bike as much as possible.
