Cycle day 5.
16km
1:35:25
5:58mins/km
Ave HR: 139
Max HR: 154
Deliberately slow. Was done by about 13/14km but managed to drag myself home. Pace for most part was consistent between 5:49 and 5:57 and slowed them after 12km to 6:05 with the last km being 6:20. I was done!! Glad I didnââ¬â¢t plan to go any further or run any quicker at the start! First long one out for a while so didnââ¬â¢t want to over stress the body. I was feeling it in the groin towards the end of this one, not something I usually have trouble with but it could just be down to the stress of being back in training!
Legs were a little heavy after Friday morning but did feel ok for the most part. Been stretching regularly and maybe get on the rollers but for most part so far the legs are ok and recovering quicker than anticipated after the longer sessions.
Will play next two days by feel, initial thoughts are just a short one Tuesday but we will see how legs are feeling tomorrow.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!!
