WEEK 5

Coming to the end of week 5, I got severely demoralised and wanted to give it all up. Somehow I got over those feelings and when someone phoned me up to do a 10km run at very short notice i.e. 24hrs I said yes.
I would have been happy just to finish as I'd never ran over 5km. I was aiming to do it under 1.20hrs so I was happy when I finished in 1.03. This helped to renew my enthusiasm and I am back in proper training.

Week 3

Not much happening, same as previous weeks. Biked for about 40 mins and 2 hours in the gym. Swam for about hour and a half. Found a way of combining a dog walk with the run and killed 2 birds with one stone.

The bike consisted of cycling to the swimming pool, doing a 600m swim. Then biking back. When I checked the computer I had hit 40mph at one stage, obviously that was one of the down hill sections.

Week 1 The end of

The end of week 1, more swimming and a run. My swimming sucks big time, so I am now getting some coaching as currently I struggle to do 100m doing front crawl. Though I managed to swim 750m (backstroke) in 29mins.

Luckly the run was n´t so bad, not sure how far I ran, the distance will be measured next time.

Now looking forward to a day off then week 2.
