Spent lots of time in the gym this week, riding fixed bikes and running on fixed roads, (Treadmills, yawn). Every ride and run session was a brick so I'm really getting used to running off the bike. With combinations of skills and speed, muscular endurance and strength, I've had a good variety before stepping onto the treadmill.
Runs have just been thirty minutes up to now, still at a steady ten to ten point five KPH, although at the end of the week I was using some incline while maintaining the pace.
I was unable to attend any classes this week but still managed a couple of visits to the pool. It's a funny thing swimming, I find that if I'm in a lane of my own I swim beautifuly, very efficiant and with some ease. The same can be said when I'm in a lane with people who perhaps arn't as comfortable in the water as I have become. Although the same cannot be said when I'm sharing a lane with those who are far superior to me. My technique goes right out of the window. I don't know if it's just nerves or I'm trying to hard to keep up and not look slow. Either way it doesn't do my skills training any good.
I started planning my build period sheduals this week, this is when things get a little more serious with regards to session groupings and fatigue levels. There won't be much increase in total hours to start with but the sessions will be closer together, if not back to back. This is also the period when I start stretching out the endurance training, so eventualy the total hours will increase. For now though, I still have about two weeks left in base period, (injury pending). I'll keep you posted on when the change happens. Over and out
