Monday I missed my chance to run as I just couldn't fit it in. I went to swimming but I had a terrible night as my right side, back and shoulders all tightened up. Garmin was recording nonsense. to the point that it logged my 100m breast stroke warm down as 200m in 2:18. I count that I did something around 1850m in the 43 minutes before I gave up on my back.
Tuesday was a trip to Kirkhill. Last chance of the year to get an evening run round the hill before it is going to need head-torches.Even that was pushing it a little bit. Some of the sections through the forest were pretty dark and a little bit dodgy. Also I forgot my smaller orthotics to fit in my off-road running shoes. The larger set from my work shoes dont fit so I had to run with none. This meant that by the end of 6 miles the stabilising muscles in both calves were really suffering. I did get a roller session in before bed to treat the worst pains but some of the tightness is going to last all week.
Wednesday I really could have used a rest but I had been volunteered to lead the club running session in the evening. That turned out to be a relatively comfortable session. the tightness from Tuesday wasn't as bad as I feared, but it did certainly affect some of the tighter corners.
Thursday I got home from work slightly early and managed to sneak in a loop around Dyce before going to organise wedding invitations. Still struggling with tight calves from Tuesday.
Friday I had a rest day.
Saturday the weather was beyond terrible so I decided to skip the ride to the pool and just drove instead. Then once I was in the water I felt pretty terrible as well. I decided almost instantly to skip the long swim in favour of a 4x400m reps session, justifying it with next weekends 400m race. Then after the second 400m rep I decided to start cutting again.
Sunday was a long ride with the Kintore group. Last week before they reset the miles to suit beginners. I was really struggling at a few different points. No real surprise as we spent the first 30 miles averaging over 17mph and then straight into climbing the Learney.
Another good week. All the miles covered and a few extra as well. Looks like I am going to have to make some nutrition changes though. I am still gradually losing weight, when I really should be adding. The free lunches at work are nice but they simply aren't enough calorie content.
