Training Plan - Week 33 - August 10 to 16

Tuesday I have the second last of this season's Evening League Time Trial races. The last one that I am going to race as I am marshalling the very last one next week. This event is the main reason I took part in the whole series. It was my first ever TT when I did it last year, (Report here). It will be the first time that I have a real comparison of a bike race from 2014 against 2015 without the other sports involved. I expect to be tired from Westhill but I still think I can beat my time from 2014. I raced 26:02 for the 9 mile course so that is my target to beat.

From there I then have 3 weeks until my next race, which is a novice distance, and another month until Huntly Standard. Hopefully somewhere in that gap I can get enough of a rest to clear my current fatigue problems and get in some decent training. 

Despite being exhausted and having knee problems the rest of the plan for this week is fairly heavy as I have a long ride on Wednesday. If I keep both Kintore rides this will mean a huge bike week. That then means trying to cram all my running and the rest of my swimming into Friday and Saturday. 

Some of this will almost certainly have to drop out, just a matter of moving things based on how I feel each day.
