2 weeks of thoughts

Week ending 5/1

Swim: OK, nothing new

Bike: OK, did the 4X10 went about as expected holding near 210-215 watts.  Ran well on the brick run.  I'm slowing down that run so I can concentrate on the Quality run on Wednesday

Biked long on weekend, got 60 miles in but the rain started and I cut the last 10 miles.

Run: OK.  Not showing any improvement on the pace for the Hill Run but did see a slight decrease in HR.   I was a little tired for the long run on Sunday but still managed to run 15 miles easy as planned.

Overall a pretty decent week with a little less volume

Week ending 5/8, Triple T Camp Week

Swim: OK, tired but nothing new.  Swam Monday, Wednesday and OW on Saturday

Bike: 2X20 on Tuesday, faded at end, should have targeted 210 for the first one instead of 217.
Triple T bike rides went well, I just wanted to ride the courses and not kill myself.  While I rode hard, I was nowhere near all-out.

Run:  Ankle hurt on Tuesday so I took it off (the run).  It rained on Wednesday so I just ran easy at lunch, good thing cuz I was tired.  Ran the hill at Shawnee on Thursday evening, brick run once on Friday.  Didn't run on Sunday after the drive like I should have.

Overall a short run week and I'm not satisfied with the run volume.  This week is the last week for harder training and the weather doesn't look good so I'm going to have to suck it up and train indoors.

Goals for this week:
There is a swim meet this weekend (for the kids) so I'll need to get my swims in earlier, probably MWTF.

Bike: 2X20@210, 4X20(5)SST on Thursday, longer and easy on Saturday.

Run: Hill workout but keep HR in a lower zone more in line with the effort I will target at Triple T.  I'm thinking around 150bpm and see how I feel from there.  Sunday I'm going to go with the Daniels plan (2 miles E pace + 10 to 15 min T pace with 3 min rests + 30 to 45 min E pace)
