Training Review - Week 9 - Feb 22 to 28

Monday I started with an easy run round Dyce to try and clear out my legs from Sunday's long run. It didn't really help. I did force myself to go to swimming though. Hated almost the entire session. I had to alter or ignore almost all of it and was getting overtaken by people from lane 2. 

Tuesday I decided just to sit on the turbo for 30 minutes easy. Wednesday was snowing so I got back on the turbo and did another 30 minutes. This time as 10 min warm up, 10 min rep, 10 min warm down.

Thursday I got home from work early and managed to get out for a run while it was still daylight. I also managed to get into a nice pace without any kidney problems and put in my fastest paced run of the year. Then I also forced myself through yoga session 25 and then did some of a weights session while watching Rocky Balboa. 

Friday I had a rest day.

Saturday I went for a steady 2k swim at ASV in the morning and then Dexter came round in the afternoon. We went out for a long run at Kirkhill without him grumping too much till about the 5 mile mark.

Sunday I planned 30 miles in a couple of hours on the turbo. 30 minutes in and I couldn't get the speed over 11 mph. At that rate I was going to take nearly 3 hours to get the miles and I was feeling terrible. I decided to just get through an hour. 

A decent block in the middle of the week spoiled by a terrible Sunday. So the bike numbers slip further away.
