My speed walking seems to be going quite well, Every now and then I break into a little run just to test the knee. I don't do this until I've had at least an hours warm up. I took the waliking to the mountains on Tuesday to get some hill work done.
After 1.30 hrs of speed walking, it was off to the pool for an endurance swim of 1 hour.
Relaxing rest day on Wednesday with just Yoga.
Thursday, Strength and Muscular endurance session on the bike. A shallow hill of about three quarters of a mile is a good training ground. Stick it in a big gear, stay seated and grind away up the hill. This was followed by another 1.30 hr power walk, on flatter ground this time.
Friday was a tough day. I packed the bike in the car and headed off to the local pool. An hour endurance swim straight into a two hour strength hill climbing session. Unlike Thursdays shallow hill, Fridays hills were real hills. The kind that make your legs shake when you get near the top. Broke a spoke about four miles from the finish.
Managed 15 minutes in the sea this week. Got myself some ear plugs which stopped the dizzy period when leaving the water. The problem was apparently cold water on the inner ear.
Hoping to reach twenty minutes next week.
