Half term has been a good training period putting me back on the road to fitness,
Iv'e had some good sessions on the bike and even managed to get a few run miles in the week went as follows:
Monday- X country run at Southwold out on the marshes, ran at an easy pace for 7.4 miles avg was 7.58 mpm.
Tuesday- went out on the road bike as the weather broke a little and the roads were dry, Round the island ride 25.9 miles at a steady reasonably hard effort all the way average speed was 21.1 mph.
Wednesday- swim session 1hr 15mins a total of 3000m
Thursday- I went out at just after 3pm on the road bike and did 30.8 miles in 1hr 37 mins at a steady pace averaged 19mph and HR average was 140bpm then home for a quick refuel and rest before the usual Thursday night ride and run, none of the other boys turned out so I was on my own which was not good as I soon convinced myself that 1 lap round the town and the 2 bridges run would be sufficient,probably a good thing after the lap round the town on the bike pushing quite hard my legs died in the last 3 miles of the run, the 10.8 miles on the bike was done at an average 19.5 mph in 33 mins and the run was done at an average 6.54 mpm for the 5.9 miles
Friday- Went for an easy bike ride with Joe and my Dad round the river Hundred route, this was 28.34 miles in 2hrs 12 mins.
Saturday- did run with Joe for 2 miles then carried on for another 2.7 miles on my own all done at an easy pace.
Sunday- did a bike ride out to Bungay and back, generally an easy ride with a few hard efforts over the Bungay hills, the ride was 37.32 miles done in 2.09.17
A good week to help me get back to fitness, a good few base miles completed and a few hard efforts, I ran a total of 18 miles and rode 134 on the bike.
Really enjoyable the only down side is that next week I am giving up chocolate and biscuits for lent, hopefully will loose some weight but will probably be a bit more irritable!!
