Training Review - Week 5 - w/e Feb 3rd


So targets for last week (Week 5) were:
Swim >1.5 miles. Bike >40 miles. Run >12 miles.

Actuals were:

Monday - Swim with TPT. 1,725m.

Tuesday - Treadmill 3 miles, 26 mins. Was meant to be a loop around Dyce but the weather was crappy.

Wednesday - No brick. Went to cinema instead. Movie 43 is shit!

Thursday - No swim. Went to cinema instead. The Last Stand is classic Arnie.

Friday - Postponed brick session from Wednesday. 5.1 miles treadmill and 14.5 miles gym bike in 45 mins each. Went to cinema again. Zero Dark Thirty is very dull.

Saturday - Easy Swim at Bucksburn, 700m in 35mins. Lots of traffic.
Hill run at Kirkhill, 4 miles in 40mins.

Car crash in the afternoon. Little bump. Slid on the ice doing about 5mph but hit a 4x4 with high bumpers which took out my headlight and put a dent in the front wing.

Sunday - 41.3 miles on the road bike with the Kintore Sunday ride. 3 hours (and 1 minute). Hard work in the wind and rain and cold. Made even less enjoyable by garmin deciding at 35miles to run out of memory and then refusing to stop beeping for the next 7 miles! Then home and collapsed on the sofa to find the Princess Bride and then Wrath of Khan back-to-back on TV! Not a bad day in the end

Result - Swim 1.5 miles (2,425m). Bike 55.8 miles. Run 12.1 miles.

Reshuffled the entire week to fit around real life. But still managed to fit everything into the week. Having two rest days before my brick session meant I clocked higher numbers for it than normal. And the weekend long run dropped from 6 miles to a hilly 4 miles.

Only just made the extended swim target and the extended run target, but then hammered this weeks biking target with a long Sunday ride. Swimming I will pick up even more once the weather changes and I get out to Knockburn. Need to start looking at longer single runs rather than so many short sessions, but not next week due to races.
