Weekly Update and The Kids Run with Thomas

Seeing it's only Friday, i'm going to include last Sunday in this (first) weekly update. And it's getting late on Friday, and i'm falling asleep so it's going to be brief.

Last Sunday began with a trip to the hills so the kids could do the Run with Thomas (the Tank Engine) Fun Run.  The runs were pretty short, but the kids had a great time anyway!

And yes, it was damn cold!!!

My training since then has been:

• Sunday arvo - 1.5 hr run
• Monday - 1 hr bike on trainer, followed by 15min run
• Tuesday - 1 hr swim
• Wednesday - 1 hr trainer ride in the morning
• Thursday - 1.5 hr run
• Friday - 1 hr swim

A couple of the sessions i've struggled, but most of it has been targeting low HR endurance work, so i was just concentrating on holding form and keeping on keeping on!

Saturday is supposed to be my long run and an hour ride, but i'm thinking an easy ride/run brick session of 1-1.5 hrs, so i'm relatively well rested for Sunday's 140km Winery Ride with Orica Green Edge.

Also, I'm tipping i'm going to be a little sore come Monday morning, so i've booked in to see my physio first thing Monday.

The one thing that i may need a little assistance with is my diet.  I'm happy that it's pretty well balanced as far as Carbs, Protein and Fats go - but i'm still a little unsure on how much i should be eating and when.

Also pretty happy with the energy i'm using while training.  I'm trialling a mix of things in solid, liquid and gel form so i can see what my stomach likes and dislikes.

Until next time, happy training!!
