Today is what I consider the hardest of all workouts: DOING NOTHING. My muscles don’t feel sore, but I do feel the deep fatigue I would expect after the Camp week, which I finished yesterday. And the plan says rest, so I will not go to the pool, nor run the 3-5 miles my inner voice says I should. I will let the day consolidate the gains, and get back at it tomorrow.
Here’s the report from the last 7 days:
- Swim x 2 OWS for 2:17
- Bike x 3: Hurricane Ridge, 66 mi, sea level to 5242′; High Pass Challenge 104 mi, 6:45, 7100′ climbing, followed the next day by flat ride in aero, 60 mi, 3:15. Totals: 15:15, 227 mi, 705 TSS, 14, 350′ climbing.
- Run x 6 for 5:15/35 mi, including a half marathon race for my long run (with warm up/cool down was 2 hours)
- Weight x 2 for 1:45
I felt good about all the workouts, came in at the numbers I was hoping for, neither under nor over working things. I didn’t lose weight, or get dehydrated, which is something I easily do in beefy weeks like this, so my nutrition was pretty good also.
23 hrs, 45 min. PMC: 1288 TSS, CTL to 134, TSB -35, Ramp of 10 for the week.
