this week has been another good week of training. If your on the 'couch of doom', then eat extra crisps and have a beer, I worked it off for you this week.
Mon - 2500m swim
Tues - 8km treadmill at speed as I only had a short time before going to pick up Oliver
Wed - 43km bike ride with hills and a 2500m masters swim session
Thursday - 8km run
Friday - 6.5km run
Sat - 21km run
and apart from feeling weak from the last run, I am starting to feel stronger, more able to cope with the training volume rather than just hanging in. But then this was a easier week on the plan. Next week the long run goes upto 24km and the midweek runs start to replace the shorter distances with longer distances.
The strange thing is that I would have expected my weight to drop off a couple of pounds by now, but it has not. Now I'm hoping that this is increased muscle, but it's probably more to do with all the cake that still needs eating up.
