Tuesday I had an Energy Institute event to attend in the evening so I didn't manage any training at all. I am going to call it a rest day but it wasn't very restful.
Wednesday I went to the TPT fartlek session. I pushed quite hard on the first lap but then my kidney problem from last week came back to annoy me and I had to ease off on the second lap. I have booked back into the doctor for more tests next week.
Thursday I did an easy lap after work. Felt fairly steady at 8 minute pace. Late in the evening I managed to squeeze in a weights session for the first time in a few weeks.
Friday when I got home from work I decided to grab some bike miles. An easy spin round the airport ticked 10 miles off the list.
Saturday I went with another week of riding to the pool for a long steady swim. I had planned a full hour swim this week but I was tiring so I bailed out at the 2,000m mark. The pace wasn't great either. 19 mins/km is quicker than my 5k race pace but if I am running out of gas at 2km of that pace I am going to really struggle by 5k. Another nibble at the bike miles also took Sunday's solo ride down to a sensible solo level.
Sunday I went out for that solo ride to get the rest of my miles for the week. I planned to check out the possible commuting routes to my new workplace. Turns out that the shortest route is mountain bike only, and the route with the best roads is a bit too long and is going to be too heavy with traffic. There are two combination options in between these twos that I will still need to recce at some point. Then I did a rollering session and some yoga when I got back.
In the afternoon I sat down to watch Scotland's rugby team manage to lose a world cup quarter final when leading 2 minutes from the end. But there were half a dozen very dodgy refereeing decisions that contributed to the loss. Great performance from the Scotland team.
Having passed my 2014 run total last week, I then passed my 2014 swim total this week. And since 2014 was my biggest swim year ever, this is now my biggest swim year ever. With a 5k race, and all the prep that goes with that, still to come I should easily pass the 100 mile mark as well. I also managed to nick just under a mile back from my cycling backlog.
Still missed out on both core and one stretching sessions this week and only just scraped over the bike and run miles and yoga time. A more rounded week than the last few so I am happy with that.
