3 Weeks into the 2nd phase of running

My legs are tired

I've been following the recommended volume for the Daniels plan and I welcomed last weeks lower values.

The last 3 weeks have been 40.1, 40.7, 38.4 miles and with the higher intensity on Wednesdays and Sundays the volume has been about right.  What's been nice is that I've been able to get on the road a few times and off the treadmill and track.  That has made the training more pleasant.

I've backed off the swimming hoping that I'd feel stronger and I have.  I've going to give it another week of lower volume to see if I feel even better.  The last 3 weeks have been 11,700 14,900 and 9600 yards.  I'm planning to be near 10,000 yards again this week.

I've picked up the bike riding this week.  The last 3 weeks have been 4:42, 4:34 and 5:25.  I would like to bring myself up to 6 hours for the next 3 weeks and then 7-8 after that.  I've doing 3X8'(2) two weeks ago and 3X10(3) last week, I'm planning on doing 3X12(3-4) this week and then move into my normal rotation of 8X5(1), 4X10(2), 3X15(3) and 2X20(5) after that.
