Week 8


Tuesday - Swim 2400m in 1:05

Wednesday - Bike 40km in 1:10
Run 9,1Km in 54:43
Well week 8 was a bit slow getting off the ground, but seems to be up and running OK now.
Swim went well on Tuesday, shoulder managed ok, so all good there.
Yesterday I helped a student out by being a test case for his dissertation. I had to do a 20km ride followed by a 2km run. It all went a bit pants though as some equipment he required was in he wrong place so the set up took forever, then the silly electrodes started falling off once I was up to speed on the bike…

But the training for me was pretty good, ended up doing a ½ Hour speed session on the bike, followed by a hard 1km run. All at threshold heart rate. I thought I’d not make it, but it actually went well. Managed to do the bike bit at 200watts with a HR at 162 or there about and then maintain that on to the run. The poor chap thought I’d blow up somewhere along the line, but I was really fine.
It’s the first bit of speed work I’ve done so a bit of a taste of things to come….
