Welcome to my training report for week commencing 19th January 2015. Part of a series of weekly reports, briefly summarising my training during that week and plans for the following week. You will find the vast majority of my workouts published through my Strava, Runkeeper and Movescount accounts. Where applicable I have provided direct links to specific workouts on Strava below, should you wish to see more detail on them. OK so lets get into it…
Last week (commencing 19th January 2015)
This week was always going to be a much easier week, as the taper took hold and the run mileage was cut back to 45km. Work and travel meant that I had to re-jig things a little. By the weekend I also decided to drop one of the turbo sessions and just do a single 90 minute one instead.
So overall a good week, managing to get a decent level of core work in as well for a change. Here is how the week broke down.
Monday
Travelling with work and tired from weekends running, squeezed a short core session in first thing in the morning.
Tuesday
Quick core in the morning
Easy lunchtime taper run, Ely
Evening run with Mrs T, Ely
Wednesday
Another long day of travelling with work, so no training.
Thursday
Lunchtime tempo run, Ely
Friday
Crisp morning trail run, Ely
Saturday
Full core and flexibility session
Sunday
Single Speed Endurance Session, Ely
Weekly summary:
8 hours and 10 minutes of training, with a TSS of 420.6 and total distance of 80km broken down as follows:
- Run: 45km in 3h 57m
- Cycle: 35km in 1h 30m
- Swim: None
- Core work: 2h 42m
Plan for next week (commencing 26th January 2015)
