Training Plan - Week 45 - November 2 to 8

I have an Energy Institute event taking out Tuesday evening and Bonfire night and fireworks taking Thursday. And I am not sure yet what is coming to the cinema this week but as it is Strictly season, Saturday cinema trips are out so I can probably write off Friday evening to the cinema as well. That leaves me trying to squeeze everything else in and it looks like something will have to give this week (and next).

As I am falling behind on the bike and I need to get back in to the Sunday rides so that I can set up regular Lite rides, it can’t be that. Monday and Wednesday Club sessions are also on the definite list. They are too valuable to drop in terms of socialising as well as training. So that still leaves me looking for about 8 miles of running, about half a mile of swimming and as much extra biking as I can find. Trying to squeeze a double session into Monday nights is not helping my swimming as I arrive at the pool tired and my back gives me problems, but I am just going to live with it again this week. I do need to keep that sensible in terms of distance though so it will stay short and easy. That still leaves me trying to fill Saturday with bits of everything, and Sunday evening with all the extra sessions.

That simply isn’t going to fit so the plan will be to let the weather dictate what I can do on Saturday and then try and fit in the shorter sessions wherever I can squeeze 15 minutes in through the week. If there is nothing decent on at the cinema this week then getting Friday night back would certainly help.
