TheEd,
Mon PM: Swim training: 45mins, went OK, got out early. Made me feel so relaxed - cant believe how much you can get used the release a good swim session.
Tues: Waddle:6km/31:12/Avg HR 133
Felt slow and a tad sore from Sunday's race. Still recovering no doubt.Was in work by 7am this morn, so getting hang of early starts. Will be careful though this week as finishing late as well.
Rest tomorrow. Will update how feel - what do reckon I might capable of Thurs? 2km's might be a bit much, what about the 1000's this week? Dont want to overdo it as had race - am learning aren't it! Lets see how feel tomorrow I suppose.
Were reading another chaps blog last night, cant memo his name, is it ivhen? Inspiring - made me realise I need to step up and start thinking about my winter training in terms of cycles - should I start thinking about this as the off-season/period and treat it accordingly to take my training apart and re-build it?.
After this next 10Km race in a few weeks can we talk about maintenance and build up cycles during Dec/Jan/Feb? I need to set some medium term goals for events next year. One think have noticed is that I am missing the long runs, the 1hr+ waddles - feel that this is making feel am stuck in a sort of recovery/performance rut. Need to do one this weekend, might release something...
Am thinking of doing the London Marathon in April with a view to start some Triathlons next summer. However need to finally master current recover strategies, I know the rest will come, can feel it!
Catch up soone,
D
ps Hows Finland - still there? Many waddles? Hows wifey? Anymore races?
