Week 5 kicked off – Depending on whether the taper will be 1 or 2 weekends, there are now 17 or 18 weekends of training left.
Saturday
Ø 101 km – Turf farms then up to springwood and back. I like this format of putting a hill onto the end of a tempo ride, as this leaves any potential blow ups to the end of the ride – point being that if you crack early or mid ride, the remainder, as well as being a miserable suffer-fest, is probably also poor training.
Ø PM Saturday 7.2k – calf buggered again. Seems to be improving to the point where I can locate the precise problem, which wasn’t possible previously when the whole muscle was a big ball of scar tissue. In any case, I will rack the runners for a couple of weeks now, and use the Christmas period to get some good long rides in and get some swim strength going, which I have never attempted to do previously.
Sunday:
Actually felt quite good after yesterday’s ride, but both my Sunday ride and swim were tragic, so the hangover effect was real.
Ø 35 easy kms with a couple of 10 min tempo intervals
Ø 600m in 100m intervals with Riley at Glenbrook pool.
