Cycling with Rocky

well I have not blogged for a while but much to catch up on.

Injury 1 "The Calf" is much better now though still tight at times. I'm beginning to get my confidence back running, doing a hill session 2-3 times a week for an hour near Oxted and the north downs. It feels slow but the strength is returning.

I have built a gym in the garage with a weight bench, core area turbo etc, so doing quite alot of strength work as well at the mo which I hope will pay dividends in the longer races.

Injury 2 "The Broken Big Toe" what a stupid injury! but it is not holding me back now, it was nearly a month ago I did it, it does look horrible but with no impact on my training I'm glad to say!!

Training this week just gone,

2 swim sessions, Both skills and drills each at 1500 meters
3 strength sessions including core
Cycling 88 miles mixed Turbo and Road sessions
Running 3 sessions
1 tempo session off the bike 2 miles flat out
1 endurance session (hills) 9 miles
1 break out run 6 miles

so not a bad week if a little disjointed

Targets for this week

3 sessions of each

which include
2 drills and skills swim plus one endurance swim (Saturday)
2 Turbo sessions plus 1 60 mile+ ride on Sunday
3 run sessions to include, (tempo 5K), (Endurance, Hills 1 hour+), (Break out X country run: with Skip! 6-8 miles)

2 strength sessions

That's should be enough, then I'm off to gran Canaria for some training at the end of March as the water/weather is warmer than Lanzarote.
