Hey Ed, hope you are well. Took your advice & had a fairly easy week.
Sunday: Easy swim 1k open water
Monday: Easy jog with my wife 5.2km 31:42 6:06km followed by slow half hour on turbo trainer, 11.2km.
Tuesday: Rest day
Wednesday: Football, only played an hour as I got a red card
Thursday: 1hr steady on the bike 30.6km
Today, Friday, I intended to start the 2k intervals. I have exactly 3 weeks until my sprint triathlon (5k run leg). Beyond that I have a half ironman in August & hope to do a few running races in the interim. Anyway should I stick to the 10k program for now? I have done very little bike/swim in the last 2 months so I'm not expecting any great performances & will use the race as a building block for the rest of the year. I really enjoyed getting on the podium albeit at a slow race. I'm so far behind on the bike/swim that it will take me years to get near the top third. However I feel I can get top 10's in my age group with the running with some work. I turn 40 tomorrow ðŸâ¢Ë. At least I'll be the youngest in my age group.
Cheers Joe
