Training Review - Week 3 - w/e Jan 20th

So targets for last week (Week 3) were:

Swim ~1 mile. Bike >31 miles. Run >10 miles. 

Actuals were:

Monday  - X-rays at fracture clinic. Swim with TPT. 1,700m in 55 mins. Bit sniffly.

Tuesday - Decided against going out on the slidy, frozen snow and making my sniffle any worse,  so I did my 5k (3.1miles) on the treadmill instead, in 27mins 30.

Wednesday - Brick in the gym. 5.1 miles on the treadmill in 45mins. 10 miles on the bike in 31:26. Slightly faster on the run than last week, but slightly slower on the bike because of it. Still a bit sniffly so stopped the bike at 10 miles instead of the plan to do 12.

Thursday - 25 mins swim. 1,200m (I think but lost count and might have double counted 650m, and 1,000m and 1,050m, ... so might actually have been anything up to 1,350m). Only got to practice turns on the first few lengths before it got too busy.

And then a core session and some physio work for mobility of my shoulder.

Friday - 4 mile run at Kirkhill. Good fun through the snow with Dexter. Started a bit late in the day so the decent was getting pretty dark. 46mins.

Saturday - Same 4 mile run at Kirkhill with Dexter again, but earlier in the day this time so we could see where we were going all the way down. Snow drifts were much deeper near the top though. 43 mins this time.

Then went to the gym and spent 80 mins on the exercise bike, 24.6 miles worth. The change from plan was because sunday's long ride was cancelled for weather.

Sunday - 9.2 mile run at Hazelhead and Counteswells. Was planning to finish off with an easy half hour on the gym bike but the power was out at the office gym. Then in the evening I did another core set and some of the physio stretching exercises on my shoulder.

Sniffle finally seems to have gone.

Result - Swim 1.8 miles. Bike 34.6 miles. Run 25.4 miles.

Another very good week all round. Lots more running than planned, even more than the stretch numbers from last week's plan. No rest days despite the weather, but not overstressed by anything. Only did two sessions on the shoulder, which probably wasn't enough.
