Week 18 Training Log

A really good week this one, managed to fit everything in without injury. Got some good bike rides in dispite the wet and windy weather, got a couple of really good soakings too.
the first swim session of the week was a little tough as I haven't swam over the half term break. I'm breaking the swim down into three 20 minute sections, first 20 min is like warm up, then I use hand paddles for 20 minutes then the last 20 minutes is just regular swimming.
I've started using compresion socks after my runs, I find they help the recovery process in my problematic calves. They're said to stimulate the blood flow around the muscles, I don't fully understand the science but they seem to work for me.
Christmas is very much on my mind at the moment with regards to staying in shape and not becoming the blob that I became last year. I intend to eat well ( good food ) drink just enough to celebrate and work damn hard throughout the festive period. to keep the guilt at bay. Ho ho ho!!
