Week 14 - The Week in Review

"Nothing in life ever just happens. Calculated progression insures your strength."

The end of week 14, end of the bike build! Recovery week ahead then to in to 12 weeks of focused training. Bring it on!

This week has been a good period on the bike. It has allowed a certain focus that has been required for me to bring my bike up to scratch. Back at work this week. It has been a challenge to find that balance in work, training and life.

Monday:
Another solid core strength session. Still working on the usual routine, however, this week I decided to move to higher resistant band.

Tuesday:
This morning was a 3km run TT at squad. Ended up with a time of 11m30s which is the second best time I have done over this distance and only 15s short of my PB of 11m15s.

Pm session was back in the pool...not the best session...in fact just didn't finish.....the voice got the better of me...and honestly I just needed to harden up.

Wednesday:
Happy AUSTRALIA DAY!!
The morning consisted a 4 hr ride on the bike....119km...starting to feel the strength return to the pedals!

Thursday:
Work got the better of me and there had to be a commitment to this and getting prepared for the weeks ahead.

Friday:
Windtrainer session....its becoming a favourite....did I say that!
But what was a big revelation was the way I was running off the bike.....impressive...strong...but it did hurt....no pain no gain! The head was back in the game!!!
Saturday:
Another 4hr ride (in fact 4h45m) with 123km......
Great resistance training the wind from Redcliffe back home was so incredibly strong.
Again the legs were building strength again.

Lunch was a massage.

PM was 1hr core with 30min core/run......great stuff...loving this stuff!

Sunday:
110min run through the hills......happy with the effort....just under 19km.
NICE!!!
