A full social day today meant that it was important to get my training in early. One thing that I have learned through this is: get the session in early or things just get in the way. This is even more important at the weekend when the pressure might be family or social. So this morning I hit the road at 7am, still dark, but not too cold. A full 60 minutes running maintaining a low heart rate. I was pleased to come in exactly the same time and heart rate as Friday, which suggests that my cold isn’t affecting my performance and that it was the right decision to train. The run today finishes on a hill that 12 months ago I used to have to walk up, so that feels like progress.
Another reason for getting the run in early is to maximize my rest day tomorrow. My next session is a swim on Tuesday at 6am, so by having the rest of today and having all of Monday without training gives me over 40 hours rest.
All in all l am pleased with this weeks training despite having a busy week travelling and with clients I have managed to complete all of the sessions despite having to shift one swim and catching a cold. My aches and pains are ok and feel as if they are to be expected considering the level of activity.
