I had to do the long run and bike ride I'd planned to do at the weekend; 15m indoor bike (or a 15km bike ride over rough ground outside) and a 4km or 5km run. Unfortunately it was absolutely bucketing it down so even the 1.5hr gym slog was more attractive than getting soaked through for a couple of hours.
In the end I just programmed in 1 hour for the bike and 30 min for the run. In order to prevent myself from dying of boredom I used the interval training programmes, and also mainlined Ben Greenfield podcasts.
My knee and ankle were complaining a lot afterward. How on earth am I going to manage doing double that in a few weeks? Eek.
- The Bike - 15.6m in 1 hour (25km/hr)
- The Run - 4km in 30 mins (7.3 min/km) - intervals with incline
Everything felt better when I got home and discovered that my boyfriend had cooked me an amazing meal; quinoa pasta with a creamy sauce, chicken wrapped in bacon and a garlic stuffed mushroom. Nom nom.
I'm going to rest up tomorrow, and do a short recovery run on Wednesday. Thurs a.m. I've booked my first spin class at silly o'clock in the morning.
