Training Log Archive: DHemer

Morning ride, and first long one really. Went out on witkoppen out past the dome and onto the rock cottage. Came back home through the suburbs. Plenty of hills with the first climb from my place to the dome a continous 6 km climb.

Got home and decided o run before the weather closed in. Went out and it got darker and windier,stayed close to the house. Decided to do some hill interviles.
Got 3 done before the weather closed in and i had to run hard home. Pushed the last km back to the house to avoid getting soaked.
I should have waited half an hour cause it cleared up

Weekly class
Rubbish tonight, taken by a stand in black belt who hardly gave a work out at all
Learnt lots of new stuff but it was not training

Afternoon run to wake me up
Run went pretty well, still keeping the pace down and focusing on building fitness, seems to be working. Definatly felt i had more in my legs than i did at the last o event. And the fitness is starting to come back as well.
the cycling is to thank for that
run was about 5 km i think

Swine of a ride to the house im sitting at the moment. 2 real climbs of decent gradient to kill the legs and lungs

The ride home, much faster than the trip there. Two hills which i can do extended periods of 50+km/h. Almost got taken out by a 4x4 on the way back, dude overtook me, pulled back in and slammed on breaks. Was a close one cause is was doing close on 40 at the time
