Tuesday I took another simple commute. The newly winterised bike is pretty good in the current weather conditions but is developing something wrong with the left pedal that I will have to address soon. In the evening I put in my core and weights sessions as I try to get in to a regular habit with them. Then I also did a bit of stretching before bed.
Since I am mountain biking at the weekend I decided to take the mountain bike for Wednesday's commute. This also gave me a slightly easier ride before a hectic evening. I took Dexter to his first proper Canicross training session. Then I went for a swim at Bucksburn as well. Sticking in 2 x 400m reps inside my Alford race time
That has made for a hugely front-loaded week already with one run, all of my bike and and swim miles, core, weights and stretching done by Wednesday. And four sessions in one day meant a price to pay on the Thursday. I dropped the bike for the day and dragged myself to the train instead. In the evening I was mostly cuddling Dexter but I did manage to drag myself to do a bit of stretching and rollering.
Friday I ran to work and Dexter's holiday week started to pay as my lungs objected the whole way. Fortunately for my allergies he went home in the afternoon.
Saturday morning I was up early for a yoga session and then a short run to finish off my miles for the week. This is the fourth week in a row that I have done all my planned miles and the second week that I have done everything on the plan.
Sunday I managed to squeeze in a short bit of yoga before going to Glenlivet for a day of mountain biking. Shame it is quite so far away as it was awesome fun. A great balance of steady climbs and fun descents. One minor spd-fail left me with a couple of bruises and after a fourth heavy week I am pretty shattered.
More important was that this week of training has been fun. A couple of times through the week I have arrived at work and just wanted to go straight out on the bike or to run again. I have done the weights and core sessions that I have been missing for so long. I did 4 sessions on Wednesday and I could have easily made an excuse to drop any of them and didn't. My first proper mountain biking trip on my new mountain bike was great fun as well. Winter is coming, and I know the less enjoyable weather is coming so it is good to be enjoying as much as I can going into winter training.
