Training Review - Week 7 - Feb 9 to 15

Another disastrous (I am sure there should be an e in there somewhere but the spellchecker doesn't like it) start to this week. Obviously still not completely clear of the flu. I barely managed half the session, and even to get to that I had to drop into lane 3 and stay out of the way of everyone else as they lapped me. 

Tuesday was slightly better. Not a great day at work but I did manage to squeeze in a trip to the gym before going to an Energy Institute presentation. 

Wednesday I had a flexi day and a Dexter so I went out for a run in the morning. I am still not properly clear of the flu but that didn't real get obvious until we were a couple of miles in and he was having to drag me along just to stay under 10min/mile pace. We did carry on for a very slow 6.6 miles though including some stops for a walk and to get some breath near the end.

Thursday was another terrible day at work, followed by an interview. Then Dexter and I went for a simple loop around the block. Still coughing a bit from not clearing last week's flu but managed to keep moving without having to resort to walking.

Friday was a rest day and a trip to see 50 Shades of terrible. Really terrible day at work as the redundancies start to be enacted and I had to take escort some people out of the building for their last day. I am starting to struggle with the stress of the situation.

Saturday I went out for another run along the railway line with Dexter. I am still coughing a bit so it was hard work, and slow.  

Sunday I went out to ride with the Kintore Sunday group but with the intention of cutting off early to get 30-35 miles. Fortunately a couple of the others were also struggling so when I turned off from the main group at the 18 mile mark I had company for the return leg.

Overall it looks like a bad week on the numbers as I missed everything except my run target, and even that I did at such slow pace that it barely counts. However, I really was struggling to recover from the flu this week so to get a full load of major sessions in is a success. Also knowing I am going to be out of work from the end of the month means I will have plenty of time in March to catch up any mileage that continues to slip away at the minute.
