Training Review - Weeks 51 & 52

The last fortnight of the year and I basically used it to try and binge on swimming to get my one missing base target.

I did try to go out on the mountain bike, but just couldn't handle the cold so did just 2.5 miles. And I did run a bit, including 3 Parkruns, but just enough to keep me from getting bored in the holidays. My hip is definitely starting to deteriorate again. I need to chase my next set of injections as the NHS seems to have forgotten about me. 

Actuals, (Target) - 

Swim 7.6 miles / 12,400 m. (5.6 miles).
Bike 17.8 miles. (79.2 miles). MTB 7.8 miles. (19.8 miles).
Run 35.0 miles. (39.2 miles).

0 short core, 1 short light weights and 1 stretching / rollering session. 20 mins of yoga.

Fortnightly Review - Weeks 9 & 10

I started off solidly, knowing that I was getting my hip injections on the Wednesday, and would likely lose some sessions, so I put in a couple of fairly heavy days early on. Or at least I planned to. The broken rib I got on my last Asda shift meant I was unable to swim, and struggled with weights, core, yoga, and was in mild pain even when running and whenever I went hard on the turbo. I managed to adapt to put in some aquajogging after my surgery and do a lot of easy time on the turbo and a couple of easy road bike rides instead.   I did go to Glasgow and took part in the Aquathlon. But it was a case of taking part more than racing. My swim was over a minute down on where it should be, even against a non-race time trial from a month ago.  I got out of the water 44th.  My transition was another 20 seconds lost.  My run was good though, I was through the GPS 5k in under 20 minutes despite a couple of measurable lumps on the course and I managed to run my way up ...
