False start...

Well last Thursday's session proved to be a bit of false start. I woke on Friday feeling worse for wear so decided to take a few more days rest. I finally got back into the training on Tuesday; not particularly happy about missing almost 2 weeks training due to illness but that's life. At least it wasn't due to injury I suppose!

Tuesday
AM - easy 30mins run - 4.02k - 7:26m/k - av. 140BPM
Cold morning but was rewarded with the sight of an incredible lightening show off to the east.

Had 50mins including a couple of efforts on the schedule but decided an easy 30mins was a much better way to ease back into the training. The pace was bloody slow but at least I'm moving again.

Wednesday
AM - easy 45mins spin
On the trainer watching the new series of Everest - Beyond the Limit :-)

Thursday
AM - easy 40mins run - 5.39k - 7:25m/k - av. 142BPM
Another morning; another lightening show! Not much to report. I managed to run / plod / shuffle up a hill or two without spiking my HR and having to walk which was a first so it was a bit more steady than previous runs. Still, very slow. Stoopid HR training.

PM - 60mins strength session with PT.
As I'm not back to 100%, my PT took pity on me again so it was another easy-ish session this week (with light weights/longer rests ) -
- 5mins bike w/u
- 3 sets of 20 x front squats (w/dumbbell)
- 2 sets of 15 x single leg dead lifts
- 2 sets of 20 x bent over row (20kg)
- core

It's nice to be moving again but I am really looking forward to getting back into my full training loads again. I'm still not 100% but getting there. Only 8 days now to K2K - holy cr*p!

Stay tuned for super duper exciting news in the next few days.... :-D

MTD: H - 24.76k* + R - 25.75k
* plus lots of stairs
