Enjoying it again

That’s another week of training done, two weeks in a row, this must be a record for me!!!

The cycle into work today means that I have done 7 consecutive days of training, and if I knew how much the bike work is helping I would have done it years ago and as the week progressed I found something that I had totally forgot about, that being the joy of running. I have decided to stay away from any form of speed training this week in an attempt to build up my base fitness, my week panned out as follows

Tuesday - 20 miles cycle

Wednesday - 20 mile cycle + 4.5 mile easy run

Thursday - 20 mile cycle = 5 mile steady run

Friday - 20 mile cycle

Saturday - 6.5 mile steady run

Sunday - 6 mile steady run

Today - 20 mile cycle.

I am hoping that with a bit of caution over the next week, I might be able to compete (ok run in…. ok turn and do) the Bridge Inn 5k.

Great to hear, Phil. And an inspiration to me with my impending 11mile commute.

Thanks Mike, the extra miles will be of benefit to you especially as you have injury issues like me.
