It's been a while since I imparted my thoughts and training on the world. Work has had me shelled for the past week plus. I know when I logged my work hours last week is well over 65. That doesn't leave a whole lot of time for life or training. I did manage about 7 and a half hours training last week pretty much evenly split among swimming, biking, and running. I had some good sessions in each and some really tough sessions based on my overall fatigue. Without hitting the detail too much, 3 hours biking, 3:30 swimming, and a measly hour running.
This week is already looking up. Monday was a solid 56 minute run, about 5.5 miles. It started out as easy and transitioned into some strides. Pretty solid, a good start to the week. Then Valentine's Day, so no swimming.
Tuesday was a good training day. I was a bit concerned because I didn't even start my training day until after work. The 30 minute frequency run really felt good, starting out easy and moving up to steady. I may have pushed it a little, I was really feeling good at the end. I followed that up with 2 hours on the rollers. This was broken up with 40 minutes at IM effort and 30 minutes at IM effort with 10 minutes easy in between. This was a good effort and took some solid focus towards the end. I'll continue to refine this into an effort I think I can hold for 112 miles in Lake Placid.
