Back to the Usual Routine

Post Aviva 70.3, there has been a bit of distraction that has taken me away from the usual physical workouts. I have been pre-occupied with operating and work; i bought a new bike adn spend hours tinkering with it and countless more hours dreaming about it. I was mulling over what races i should be doing. Last week though, i got some training albiet low volume.

Did 2 short tempo runs( 2.5 km and 5 km) keeping my pace about 5:30/km and lower adn both of which came out of bike workouts. I went to the RTC 's 25 m pool to practice bilateral breathing and kicking. Will need many more hours to streamline my swim and make it look like i am drowning. Did an OWS at Siloso and swam about 1.5 km and got stung by jellyfish twice which prematurely ended the endeavour.

All in all, an easy pace 8 hours 15 min last week.

I plan to crank it up a gear and for start my preparations for the Tribob's sprint and OD events in May. A bit more tempo runs and speed training would be in order; i have negelcted running of late because i am obsessed about right swim strokes and cycling speed and spend the lions share of my workouts on these but in rality, I make most progress in any race in my runs so it would make sense to keep my running fitness and catch and move up the ladder on the runs

So i have planned 4 runs this week. I have done one 4 km tempo run at 5:10 on monday after the swim. I plan to do a 10 km race pace run today; a 20 km long run on saturday( since FOTR is not riding) and a speed session on sunday.

In the meantime, I shall continue to mull about the Phuket 70.3!
