Week 22 was a change to my original plan. I had hoped to get some good mileage in on the bike this week, but on checking out the long range weather forecast I thought better of it. So it was time to hit the gym and get on with some strength work using weights.
I am trying to keep upper body sessions seperate from lower body ones so I can fit them in around my runs. I don't want to be running the day after a heavy weight session on the legs.
Again you'll notice that I have changed the format of the visual training log. It became apparent to me that once I started doing multiple sessions in one day, the old method would become clogged and messy. So now I just call it session, after all it doesn't really matter what the day was actually called.
I'm finding both Yoga and Pilates really good for me. Not only are they relaxing but they give my body the real good overall stretch that it needs.
One hour down on the target this week but I still have to be happy with 11 hours of training in a week, especially as it didn't include any bike work. It's easy to knock out 3-4 hours of training on a bike in one go, not so easy to make those hours up in the gym. Saying that, I found this week easier going than this time in the last 17 day block. It seems to have gone much faster and with less hurt, I'm not yet craving the rest after 3 days next week. Hoping for some better weather next week so I can get out on the bike again.
