Monday morning I started with a yoga session before my CV webinar. Then I went out to do my reps session. I changed to slightly longer reps this week, but still only did 6 of them, and at a more steady pace. Since I hadn't done too much damage I took a longer route back to get a couple of extra miles in.
I went to the swim session with TPT but it had an option in it to do 2 or 3 sets. By the end of set two I was starting to cramp up so I called it a day. Leaves me slightly short of swim miles for the week, but I am still a mile ahead for the year.
Tuesday I took my road bike out for a quick 10-mile loop around Dyce. I plan to repeat this loop regularly through the summer as a test. in hindsight I should have worn my heart rate monitor for future comparison.
Wednesday we got Dexter for a holiday so I took him out for a steady run along the railway line. My legs were feeling pretty stiff from the last few days which have probably been a bit over the top in terms of volume and intensity.
Thursday I had a longer ride planned with a friend who had holidays to use up. Her plan was to do 50 miles, so I took that as an opportunity to do an even longer ride and get a score in for Strava's March 100km challenge. We took it fairly easily and put in a half-hour cake stop so it took close to 5 hours for the 62 miles. I was struggling a bit by the end but I put that down to the distance, in hindsight it may have been that I was already carrying a bug.
By Thursday evening I was having trouble with a blocked nose and a headache and on Friday I woke up with a full-blown head cold. I did a quick stretching session and then went out for a jog around the block with Dexter during the eclipse. Didn't see much as it was too cloudy.
In the afternoon I went to see Insurgent.
Saturday I let common sense and my cold win over and had a rest day. I am way ahead of my mile targets for the week so I can afford to have a whole rest weekend if I don't feel any better tomorrow.
Sunday I decided the cold still hadn't cleared enough to train over. The pissing rain may also have influenced that decision. I did take the opportunity to do almost all of the other missing sessions from earlier in the week though.
Not a bad week altogether. Plenty of running and biking despite losing two days to a nasty cold.
