Training Plan - Week 18 - April 27 to May 3

Another slightly unusual week as I try to pack things into an increasingly hectic schedule despite still not having a job. Monday and Tuesday are filled up with interviews and outplacement meetings and Sunday I have volunteered to crew the Deeside Duathlon for a couple of friends.

On the flip side, this is also the first week of the new Kintore Midweek sessions. These are going to be organised by the same guys as the Kintore Sunday rides that I go on but are more structured cycling training sessions rather than just brute mileage. As well as the change to smarter training it should also give me a proper chance to see how fast the pure cyclists can go, and how long I can stay with them. 

Also into the new month and the swim miles go up from 1.4 to 1.8. This does mean that I need to be on two swims a week. The plan was built around being in Knockburn around now, but that was always ambitious, it needs a couple of weeks to warm up before I am going to be brave enough. That fits with my need to get in some faster swim work though as it gives me at least a couple of weeks of double pool sessions.
