Training Update

Just a random time to update what i've been up to for the past week or so.  I know it would make more sense to do this on a Monday morning or Sunday evening...but just to mix things up a bit, Tuesday morning seems to be the time :)


Wednesday 29 Feb - 13k run, inc 4.5k soft sand - sand was an attempt at hill training - run felt really good, slow during and after the sand, but good.  In hindsight, the sand wasn't the best idea and all that it ended up doing was screwing my knee for the rest of the week... :(


Friday 2 Mar - 2k pool swim...500w/u, 500 single arm reps with pb, 500 25sprint/25 recover with pb, 500c/d - felt good


Saturday 3 Mar - dare i test the knee...???...Bike on trainer in front of car racing...1hr solid, knee felt good!!


Sunday 4 Mar - let's run on the knee...fingers crossed...30min hard bike on trainer, followed by 7k run - yep, knee's back!


Monday 5 Mar - 10.5k run. Felt great!! Took it fairly easy - kept HR below 165 - ave 158 compared to normally mid 170's ave, max low 180's.  Time was slower than what i'd currently aim for 8-10, but on pace with 10k times from 2 months ago. 2 things noted - my endurance is coming along nicely and the shorter fast sessions are certainly helping make distance runs easier.


Tuesday 6 Mar - 1.5k swim. 300w/u, 200 hard, 250 25sprint/25 recover with pb, 250 3*25easy/50hard +25easy, 500c/d...
