Hey, I missed a week! Almost two!
Actually, I did do some running and some cycling, and even some swimming. So the only thing missing has been my updates. I'll try and at least get this last week written down.
Sunday
A 37 mile bike ride, 2:15, the May Valley ride. This was my first long ride of the year, by long, I mean anything over 25 miles (funny, long used to mean anything over 50 miles, 20 years ago. Now I'm twice as old and going half as far. Wait. That's not funny). Felt fried near the end, but overall a good time in the saddle.
Monday
Was supposed to be about swimming, but ended up being about sleeping in and an upper body workout. On the plus side, I did do 40 atomic pushups:
These kind of suck. In a good way. Busting out 40 was cool.
Tuesday
4.11 miles, this was a 1 mile warmup with a Maffetone 15 minute test. I ran this on a moderately hilly section of road, 1.82 miles in 15 minutes, for 8:11 avg, 365 feet of climbing. The main goal was to get a sense for going at 156 bpm for 15 minutes, I'm going to repeat on the track to see if the average speed increases on the pure flats.
Wednesday
6 miles, this was 2 miles warmup followed by 4 miles hard, especially the last 'hill of death'. I think I'm going to do my runs and swims during the week (time efficient) and my rides on the weekend.
Thursday
10x150, broken into 50 free, 25 breast, 50 free, 25 breast. Goal here was to keep good form, and that wasn't happening past 50.
Friday
off. slept in. enjoyed it. I did see this cool video, that I want to try in the pool.
