Training Log Archive: heyU

am: Out to Guidlford and return via UWA and the river. Took to the streets in East Perth to avoid the crowds at a triathlon on the foreshore, otherwise went the same way as I did in Nov last year and ended up taking about the same time as I did then. Stopped for an icecream in Guildford.
One time in the future I'll continue on from Guildford out into the Swan valley ...

am: At Subiaco Palms. With 4x2min jogging and then another 3min near the end.

am: Out to the golf complex via Perry Lakes etc. This time I continued on to Empire Ave and followed it around to Newman College. Made the mistake of turning right and going along Tuscany way, then had to put up with all the slow traffic going into the college or dropping off kids at some dumb-arse school a bit farther along (who in their right mind goes to school at 7:30? does school start then?). Probably won't come this way again.
Struggled a bit today and wasn't really keen to work too hard on the way home.

pm: Usual stuff. SportsMed Subi.

am: The search for good route to the north - continued. Headed west initially, and then north. It seems to be a much better option. Lemnos St, Brockway, Perry Lakes, and Bold Pk Dr to the golf complex. Very promising, quiet roads and hardly anyone else on two wheels. I'll go a bit farther tomorrow.

am: At Subiaco Palms. A big interval session - 5 x 2 min jogging. First one was slow and unco, second was much better and by the last I felt like I was almost running.
Still having trouble with the left ankle at times. It appears to be when I'm not concentrating and I slip into the habit of not taking the weight fully on the ball of the foot.

pm: Core and postural. Pretty much a full set of exercises for the first time since the op. Skimped a bit on the plank stuff because my toe is still not completely comfortable with it.

am: A bit of pottering about checking out alternative ways through Jolimont and Wembley to Herdsman Lake. Decided in the end that it's a hopeless cause. Too many sets of lights and too much traffic. I'll try going by Floreat and Churchlands next time.
47.8kph at one stage (very briefly).

pm: At SportsMed Subi. The usual stuff. Still no good on the left leg for squats

am: Subiaco Palms again. This time with a total of 9.5 mins of jogging (longest effort 2min). Getting better slowly, but it seems inordinately hard for something so trivial.
