Training Review - Week 53 - Dec 26 to 31


A nice easy finish to the year as I have comfortably cleared my bike and run targets and left my swim target out of reach. With Dexter visiting I planned to run every second day as I am meant to let him rest on the days between. He has been in good form the last few days though so I took him out on Boxing Day for an easy run. 

Tuesday I had planned to give Dexter a rest day, so I did some yoga and went for a swim at ASV. While I won't make my annual target, get past 100 miles or beat last years total, I can still add a couple of miles to bring the numbers up closer to what I really wanted. I can also consistently put in extended swims at sub-20 mins / km. A couple of years ago that was flat out race pace, and now it is a steady swim pace on a tired day.

In the afternoon Dexter decided he didn't want a rest day and dragged me out for a loop around Dyce. 

On Wednesday Dexter and I went to Kirkhill in the morning and then I took a trip to Bucksburn for a swim in the afternoon. And Thursday we did a loop around Dyce and then i went to Bucksburn to do a faster swim session. 

Friday we went to Kirkhill to run again. We took a slightly longer route this time to ensure that I passed 780 miles for the year, making this my second longest running year ever. 

Saturday was a final trip out on the mountain bike, and a final crash for the year. Nowhere near as serious as my TT effort in August but I will have some lovely bruises to start 2017 with.
Short on bike miles this week, but I did get out on the bike and managed a bit more than commuter effort levels.
