Training Week T – 21

Morning all

A good week and a bad week for me this week, a good week in as far as I had a nice solid week of training which totalled out to be my biggest week so far, a bad week in that I didn’t get enough time on the bike.

It is my aim to address this over the next couple of weeks with a couple of big weekend rides, the plan is to do a very hilly 60-70mile on Saturday the around the 100mile the following Saturday – these rides represent a big jump forward for me so a may not have as much training thru the week but I feel that I need to do this as my cycling is my weakest discipline.


So this is what the week looked like

MON	AM	00:45	SWIM	2.2k including a 1500m Time trail from cold. Managed to swim a PB 0f 25:57 but it left me wiped out as the rest of the session was hard work
TUE	AM	01:10	RUN	Took my better half and her mate out for a trainings session, so an easy run for me…. Followed by some stretching
WED	AM	01:00	BIKE	A spinning session on the gym bike
WED	AM	00:31	GYM	Bike session was followed by 30mins of circuit training (weights)
WED	PM	02:35	RUN	Long run of 15mile including 400m of climbing, it was a hard run on top of the 1:30 I'd already done and my joins started too feel it in the latter stages of the run. I did manage to pick up the pace for the last3 or 4 miles so the run time was 2:27 followed by some stretching CORE SESSION RUN
THU	AM	01:16	BRICK	Gym brick session of 5 x (10mins Bike, 5mins Treadmill)
THU	PM	02:00	SWIM	Masters session. Shared my lane with 2 swimming instructors and a swimming coach so was a good session - including a bit of a lesson towards the end in Breast & Back strokes (i only do front crawl) CORE SESSION SWIM
FRI	PM	02:47	RUN	Run Home from work about 11-12miles with plenty of climbing so a hard 2nd long run of the week
SAT	PM	02:32	BIKE	2:15 on the Turbo Trainer followed by 15mins floor work
SUN	PM	02:34	BRICK	2hrs on the road bike followed by 30mins run

SWIM – 2:45
BIKE – 6:24
RUN – 7:27

OTHER - 0:31

TOTAL 17:08

Have fun out there
