Training Review - Week 22 - May 26 to Jun 1

Monday I ignored my plan again. It was just too nice an evening not to go for a run before swimming. Was slow and easy but in the heat it was surprisingly uncomfortable. Also meant that I was suffering a bit when i went to swimming. This week's swim session was particularly tough. Back into some swimming for though with an accidental 6mins 48 for 400m in the middle of the session. 

Tuesday - rest day, just too tired.

Wednesday I went to Knockburn. Started with a spin round the sprint bike loop. Was a bit of effort involved but certainly not race levels and it was still pretty fast. Then went in for 3 laps in the water. Not as quick as last week, and feeling pretty lethargic. Also one of the buoys was missing, making sighting difficult and causing me to wander off track a bit but still got each lap in under 12:30. 

Saturday was sunburn and bruises. Went for a long-ish ride on a beatiful sunny day. Put my suntan cream on after my jacket though so when the jacket went in my pocket early on my arms went a lovely shade of pink. Also I wasn't paying enough attention coming through Inverurie and lost my balance whilst unclipping at a junction. Toppled over and bruised my shoulder and elbow quite badly. Then riding on through the town centre and a girl in wee red car decided to take a left without checking her mirrors and I took a whack off her front bumper. 

Cinema trip to see Maleficent. Better than I expected, but it is a bit predictable, especially post-Frozen where they used the same telegraphed twist already. Also some of the CGI is not particularly good. 

Sunday I got up early to try and get my run in before the weather got too warm. It did just about work. I went for a long but steady loop around the airport. Longest run I have done in a while but it was fairly comfortable.

Another good week. Lots of solid miles in the bag. Might struggle a bit to keep up with targets over the next few weeks as races start to take over weekends. And then the World Cup will start to chop into evenings as well.
