Back to Full training - 27th April

What a difference a week makes, Shins have settled down and have now returned to running. Trying to be really careful though so nothing serious yet. Continuation of the Bike training with an 80 mile test session, up and down the A6 in Derbyshire. With an average speed of over 22mph including slowing down through the towns, well chuffed. Equally impressed with my max stint in the middle although it did stuff me for the rest of the ride. Followed this on Sunday with a gentle spin session and a run. Middle of the week saw me in the dentist chair for quite a bit of work and a course of antibiotics to follow so have had a quiet few days , although I did manage to sneak a 3 hour gentle bike session in on thurs Eve. Plan for the week ahead is another 70/80 mile bike on Saturday followed by a bike and run Sunday. I have accepted that my personnel goal of 12 hours is now probably not really achievable due to the lack of running and am concentrating on getting to the start line fresh and not injuried. Also struggling to get max hours into the training over the next few weeks due to other commitments so intend to do some quality work instead. I am really starting to dread getting up at 5:30am for the swim sessions, usually due to being knackered from the previous day. Bike overload week is in two weeks time, not sure I'm really looking forawrd to that, hope the weathers nice.
