Bottome Line:
I was hoping to break through the 20-hour barrier this week, but the combination of a lack of sleep, poor nutrition, extreme boredom and getting back to the grind made for a challenging week. On the plus side: Sunday’s run was awesome, 4 of my toenails have fallen off, the blisters on my hands are hardening up, I have no overuse injuries (yet), and I haven’t fallen off the rollers (yet), I don’t ‘hate’ my bike (yet), I ‘only’ had 1 flat, I didn’t read my name in the obituaries, and I have lost ~ 7 lbs since X-mass (1/2 way there!).
Sunday’s workout: Skiing never happened as the roads were sketchy. 2-hours 30-minutes of running hills and cores.
Monday’s workout: 3-hour recovery ride, high cadence
Tuesday’s workout: 2-hour recovery ride, high cadence
Wednesday’s workout: 3-hours base (2-hours standing), super low cadence
Thursday’s workout: I had planned on busting an nut with some intervals but I had no sleep Wednesday night. 70-minutes recovery ride, high cadence
Friday’s workout: 3-hourse base, some SLTs
Saturday’s workout: 2-hours 30-minutes base (had to cut it short and ride off to work), out of the saddle
Total Time Week: ~ 17-hours 10-minutes
Summary: Ride, eat, no sleep, bleed, ride, eat shit, work, study, ride some more, eat some more shit, run, bleed, ride, blog.
Goal for next week: Eat well, develop a rhythm, stay positive.
Sunday: Ski race?
My "real" base plan starts Monday.... only 13hrs for the first week though(not inc work), here's hoping for no burnout.
ReplyDeleteSeeing what you do, this seems weak, but plenty for this hack.
Well you can always just back off if you start to become overextended. Good luck.
