Evening TheEd,
I hope you're keeping well. I have plenty to update you on this week:
To start off with the 1ks, I decided to do 4 reps instead of 6 due to the Triathlon the following day. I felt ok throughout, the HR stepped up again, but I think it might have something to do with the hr strap being too loose.....
Time Avg HR Max HR HR after rest
1. 3:39 158 169 122
2. 3:38 198 210 136
3. 3:40 172 177 143
4. 3:45 171 176 140
Wed 26th Enduro Triathlon 400/12.5/3 * 2 in 1:34:38
This was 2:38 mins slower than last year, but this time off a lot less training so I'm happy with the outcome. Endurance was good throughout, I just lacked a bit of speed in the swim and bike (as expected). I was happy with both run legs.
Swim (1+2) 09:13 11:06 (2nd swim without wetsuit)
Bike (1+2) 25:08 25:22
Run (1+2) 11:18 11:14
Transition: 01:17
Thursday easy bike 1hr (avg hr 137)
Saturday 5k time trial: 19:20. Felt controlled throughout
AVG HR MAX HR
1. 3:49 147 161
2. 3:56 163 167
3. 3:54 168 171
4. 3:51 173 176
5. 3:48 177 179
My plan for next week is easy 1hr bike sessions to replace easy runs with swims on these days too. I will do 10* 400m on Tuesday as per the cycle and I will also keep a 10k run later in the week just to stretch the legs a bit.
Tri is on next Sunday, 6th. How does this all sound to you?
Thanks for your help,
N
