Became an uncle again this week, my brother and partner had a little girl!
Training wise another good week, maybe 1 run and 1 swim down on planned but overall 15 1/2 hrs.
2 hrs 40 running / 2hrs swim / 11hrs biking
Managed a few runs including my long run on the treadmill wednesday, achilles still not right but managing to get away with 3 runs per week, with lots of icing.
Had some scientific testing on Saturday, got some lactate levels tested for the run and bike which was interesting and useful for Ironman training.
The bike test was also a max HR test, 184 max Hr with the last minute av 412watts. Haven't worked at this intensity for quite a few months and after having a pretty heavy 2 weeks training I felt bit under the weather saturday evening.
Decided to miss Sunday morning swim as I was a bit heady and achy, and wanted to get the long ride in I had planned. That all worked well and we cycled 152km Sunday, 18 miles over to Lydd, rode the Half Ironman course (56 miles) that we are racing in May then cycled back. Rode with JP and SC, all riding well.
This week might be less volume, had the day off today, feel ok but glands are up so need body to recover. Tomorrow hope to do an easy swim and run, Wednesday I am in Scotland with work so that will be a rest day.
We have a great weekend planned, me, SC, JP, SK leaving for Wales Friday afternoon to ride the Ironman course saturday, swim session and then run a couple loops of the run course sunday, so quite a heavy training weekend.
Becci racing eastbourne half this sunday.
fingers crossed for no rain!
I will get some photos of wales Ironman course and weekend to update next week.
