Today is a good day

Well this week was a pretty good week all told. According to Training Peaks this week was all green and yellow, not only is this pretty to look at but it suggests that I am getting somewhere close to the amount of training I was supposed to be doing.......Brownie points all round! Ok so this is not quite true, there was a bit of tinkering throughout the week to make stuff fit and I called time on Sunday's training as I was dying on my feet, no sleep for 36+ hours will do that too you.

However all told I am happy with the week and I learnt a couple of new things:

1. I can fit in 15+ hours worth of training a week
2. the training is fun and I am feeling good about it.
3. I am not loving nights (told you I'd come back to that)
4. I must do more swimming, both time and distance.

This week I am again on 7 nights so training is limited to 10 hours, a lot of that is being made up with the commute to work so a bit of a bike heavy week but that's not all bad as it will be the bike where I pick up any major time gains I thinks. Also I am putting in 3 x swim sets to try and bump that up.

Finally, there is a trail marathon next year I think I might sign up for it. There would be no time targets or what have you, it would just be for fun and I think a training run of marathon distance would be good. I suppose if i start at midnight i could do a full dry run for the swim and bike legs too.

Other than that, this week has been fairly quiet on a Jim front so I shall keep this post quick.

See you next time
