Not ideal but yesterday and today I've done two speed work sessions. It was a little sluggish today but it feels good to change my training up by only running short and sharp sessions and X training. Infact I think I've done around 17 miles on the rowing machine this week, which is more than I've done before.
Yesterday I did a fartlek session with about ten intervals of various distances and intensity then followed it up with some fartlek intervals on the concept 2. Following that this morning I used a grass track which is not flat at all and full of holes but it is what it is so I just got on with it. Also, really it makes no difference because if I consistently used it then it's the same conditions underfoot each time so I could compare the times against my older ones' on that track. After a 2mile warm up, I did 6 x 400m with about 45secs recovery. These were steady at about 80secs before a 2mile cool down jog. Not very fast to be honest but hopefully with the emphasis on speed for the next few weeks I can get these down to about 75 a lap.
On to other things I'm having a first ever attempt at mountain biking on the weekend so that should be good. Ideally I'll get on the bike and feel like I belong on a mountain bike but I dought that will happen at all, I'll probably over cautious and slow!
Personal training blog as well as my own training and nutrition blogas lots of people have started asking me questions about my training and nutrition, how, why and when, what etc - il try and keep updates of training, nutrition and keep it open for any questions and advice. Also my training is not perfect and I'm always learning but it's just what I'm currently doing to live for the adventure and the next challenge!
