Training Plan - Week 35 - August 24 to 31


Back to racing this week. Alford Novice is one of my favourite races. It will get a preview some time through the week. 

So a proper rest day comes in on Saturday. Friday comes in as an easy day to try and take the pressure off my knee. 

I have decided I am done with outdoor swimming for this year. Another couple of trips to Knockburn would have been good but I can't justify the time and fuel to go out there with no outdoor races left this year. My plan for swimming cuts back to just 1.4 miles / week from next week and I can get that from Monday night sessions. This week my second swim will just be an easy paddle to get my distance in. If I go to Bucksburn I will make try and do some work on my turns.

Thursday will depend on fixing my training bike. If I can't get it into a ride-able condition early in the week then I will probably have to put in a short training ride on my TT bike instead. This will leave me short of bike miles for the week. I am also going to come up short on run miles as I just can't put them in on top of my knee problems. 

So in advance I am already planning a bad week for miles but the success of this week will be judged on how my race goes at Alford.
