Fernando came up with a novel training idea for a long run/bike day. Himself and Peter decided they would load up a mountain bike with food, clothes and drinks and one of them would cycle it while the other ran. They did 1 hour stints before switching places averaging 12k per hour in the Wicklow Mountains, doing the Sally Gap and Luggalla twice each from both directions.
Fernando reckons that the bike spin in between runs helped recovery and they also took the opportunity to eat and drink during the bike sections. We will be planning a similar session over the next few weeks but I think I will aim for 3 runs and bikes rather than 4 and hope to hit 5-6 hours total. I'll keep you posted as we firm up the date and format.
Another session I will be doing for the first time is a 5-6 hour mountain trail run, Aisling has done this before and reckons its similar to a 3 hour road run in terms of the abuse the body takes and that recovery is similar too. We have it provisionally planned for Sunday 8h Feb and I'm already nervous....I'm just trying not to think about it too much at the moment.

Anyway heres what I've been up to for the last couple of days, it is a rest week so not too much.

Wednesday:
Gym session in the morning, just under an hour. I surprised myself by actually enjoying the gym work over the last few months and I keep the sessions short so as not to get bored with it.
PM: Mountain run with the WNR's from tallaght, we had quite a big group out and had Markus the big German triathlete we ran with last week join us for his first outing with the group on this loop. I think he's as hooked as the rest of us, there is nothing quite like the feeling of legs and lungs burning, vision reduced to the beam of your headtorch as you run up a2 or 3k climb trying to keep the approaching footsteps you can hear coming up behind you and not let them past. We ran pretty quickly taking nearly 4 mins off last weeks time with myself Alan and Aisling pushed hard for the last 1.5k it was almost a race....I'm already thinking of the tactics for next weeks finish. So much for an easy run during the rest week....that being said I felt pretty good for most of the run and I'm starting to feel the benefit of the easy week.

Thursday:
AM: Swim recovery session, I did this really steady concentrating on good technique, I'm really enjoying the swimming again and looking forward to some longer swims. Session 5x200mts with 1 min recovery in between, total time 22 mins. Swimming is still pretty slow but I'm not too worried as its still a long way to July and Zurich.

Aquaasho, I was emmm in the nice warm sitting room? Tracks are highly overrated.... Wink

Friday:
This was a long day in the shop so all I managed was a short gym session, Saturday was supposed to be an easy bike but instead was an easy lie in with coffee and scones in bed.

Sunday:
We met the gang in the Phoenix Park for a long run. About half way round the first lap Liam and Eugene started to tell us that they could tell how fast you could run a 10k by the size of your backside, Liam reckons that I have a 28 minute ass but only 38 minute legs....as I havent yet broken 40mins for a 10k I am still ok with that. I am a little worried that they were both checking out my ass though..... Anyway the rest of the run was pretty uneventful and we finished at 31k in 2h43.

Monday:
I had a gym and swim planned but due to the "Big snow of '09" I skipped the swim in the evening and had a snowball fight instead. I did make the gym session in the morning though so not a completely wasted day.

Tuesday:
I did an interval run in the evening on the treadmill as the track session was cancelled followed by a short swim. Run intervals are a killer! I did 4 x 800's the first in 2:47...too fast..then the next 3 at about 3 mins, lungs and legs really burned for the whole session.

Wednesday:
Gym session cut short, I was knackered tired. No particular reason that I could think of...I also skipped the planned run in the evening and went to bed early.

Thursday:
I finally went over 2k in the pool including a 1500mt time trial, I was a little slower than I had hoped but not too much and considering that I've hardly been swimming at all it wasn't too bad.

Tomorrows session is a tempo run which I will do in the gym again as it doesn't look like the weathers going to clear anytime soon...
