Tuesday May 6 |
| Road biking 53:00 [2] | |
| |
| Decided to make the most of the sunshine and a day off work so dusted off the road bike and took it out for a little spin. Didn't take on any big hills and tried to keep my cadence quite high. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy getting out on the bike. I'd also forgotten how rubbish drivers are at judging how fast you are going and so keep pulling out in front of you. |
| Running intervals 26:00 [5] 4.6 km (5:39 / km) | |
| shoes: Lightweight trainers |
| 4 * 500m, 3 * 400m, 3 * 300m and 1 * 500m. 75 secs between reps. 1:31, 1:27, 1:28, 1:29, 1:10, 1:09, 1:11, 0:51, 0:49, 0:50, 1:29. I think that's pretty similar to last week. OJ has found his track legs again. |
