40 mins swim - forgot it was half-term! Chaos but managed to bang out a few lengths 'trying' to focus on good technique (while avoiding kids jumping in at every angle!)
Not really training... but I've just been given financial clearance to go a buy a new pair of runners. My old ones smell so much that they have to live in the garage now.
I expect to be reporting sore knees and blisters later on.
Yesterday: 30 mins swim, 30 mins cycling machine, 20 mins cross trainer, 10 mins rowing, weights, core, stability, avoiding the legs apart from some very gentle exercises for the knee
Today: 1 hour of physio on the knee (now reduced from the size of a melon to the size (and general appearance) of a cauliflower. Back to the gym to do some more exercises - things relating to hips today (glutes, aductors etc.).
8km first run in the new running shoes this a.m... no blisters, very comfy so I'm happy with that. Slight twinge of a possible shin splint on the left is making me worried, but I thought i felt something on Sunday so I'm happy it is not the shoes. No running for a few days, I think.
Swim at lunchtime, very leisurely 16 x 200m off 4 minutes... nearly fell asleep. Felt like a good idea to give myself plenty of room to focus on technique, and my splits were consistent right to the last set. Nice.
A quick 5km run in them with some strides from 10 mins in - amazed at how much faster they make me, I am a mid/fore foot runner and they dropped my average min/km by 25 secs from my 10km run on Sunday [:-]
Pool session too today -
200m swim/200m kick/200m pull/200m swim
1000m RPE4
4x50 cool down (each one easier)
Now tired and the calfs ache just a touch but have that warm post beasting feeling
I did a 6 mile run tonight my first ever - been doing 4 or 5 for the last few weeks so quite pleased - really could have done more too but ran out of time - 49 minutes so keeping up the 7.3 MPH average and still felt good and still within my aerobic zone ... just
Yesterday: 5k run, upped the pace a little and fairly pleased with time. Then a nice relaxed swim session, nothing serious, just a bit of form work. Bike tomorrow (today).....
60 mins light intensity spin on the turbo after 10 days of staying off my feet because of a sore hamstring. Injury felt fine and im looking forward to getting back to some proper training
Rest day today! Knee injury is not improving at the rate I would like. I still can't crouch or kneel. So have probably overdone things. Wanted to go for a swim this a.m. but had to take the missus to the station. And then there is work. So just some stretche and simple exercises for the knee. Getting very frustrated. And putting on weight. Grrr.

Followed by a 2 k run to make the BRICK!
Feeling good!

Tonight it BIG legs in the gym- which normally means 2 days recovery or 1 and a light spin!

Pool session last night - 20 mins warm up then a pyramid from 10 lengths down to 2 and back up (in even numbers).
All of this is in preparation for a race on the 28th
Swimming tomorrow morning 25 mins of drills if the lanes arent to busy!
just a 3.5 mile walk at lunch + stretches for the ankle. still giving me problems [:(]
Have got a off road marathon [:-] along the Dorset Coast path on Sunday so couple of days rest coming up before a easy swim and ride on Friday.
I managed to break my laptop, which (for reasons too dull to explain) I can't go swimming at lunchtime today or tomorrow.
I did manage an hour's slow run on Monday.
