Week 3 ticked off and all was going well till the wheels fell off today on my brick run 😬
First though let me just publicly pat myself on the back for showing up all week, getting 12hrs done, faffing about in the gym (allegedly "testing" my new fitness app BitFitter.me - so I really was working), extended my long run and made a fair fist of hitting the only three sessions that actually mattered - I know... "a God like inspirational athlete" does not even come close 😂😂
Oh before I forget, even more important that this weeks training update, I have decided I shall be "looksmaxxing" in order to get even more "pretty privilege"! Oh yes... That's got my name written all over it! 😍
Some people say that I should not be allowed to wander around the internet without a responsible adult supervising me...
Anyway... back to the wheels falling off. Bit of a school boy error really: much more accumulated fatigue, increased ambient temperature, more humidity... I did precisely f**k all about upping my fuelling or hydration game (the two thing of course being very different). I had planned to run 9k off the bike, got to 6k and decided... well lets just say I had had enough and certainly wasn't "maximising my look" 😫 More annoyingly of course is that I do actually know better...
For those of you familiar with periodised training (so that's everyone except the rep counting, dumbbell tossing, PT brigade 😉) next week is a de-load week. This is quite handy as it will be a little mini-warmth wave in the uk and I have a couple of being a grown up days... Including an Apple Developer Conference at the Barbican that I am looking forward to very much.
I would like to try and get one long bike and one long run done. Bin the BRICK session and maybe add in one fast short run and one hill rep bike escapade - most importantly reduce the total volume in preparation for the next four week block (build two).
Hope you are paying attention at the back - There will be questions you know!! 😘
