longest run of my 1/2 marathon preparation. Ran about 1 hour after my swim - just came home changed my clothes and went to gym to abuse treadmill hard way :)
At the beginning I didnt feel all that well - was tired from swimming but after wu it got better. I had 2 major crisis - after about 60 minutes and last 15 minutes of second z3. There were some small ups and downs but all in all I can say except of the two crisis I felt ok.
Drank 2 litres of water
1 litre w salt and 39g of glucose in it, 1 litre of pure water. Wanted to try another gel but then decided not to risk it as I really wanted to finish this run.

swimming felt great today. I have new swim suit and there is huge difference (I used to swim in "shorts" swim suit now switched to "speedo" style).
There were no children in the pool so I could enjoy swimming and I definitely did.
had one soya candy after swim (213 kcal 6,6g prots 29,4g carbs, 7,6g fat)

very easy jog outdoor w my girlfriend. my legs were quite sore from yesterday but despite that I felt quite ok and enjoyed running outside. Tried one enduro snack before run (124 kcal) - orange flavour. It was pretty disgusting. I mean man the taste is awfull. I hope I will find some other flavour/brand as I cant imagine to eat this during the race. And btw. I suppose it has some laxative effect on me. Luckily I was not sitting on the trainer in the gym when it hit :P
Trainer gym. Easy effort
My legs were still sore from yesterday run and I was little scared if "cleansing" effect of that delicious enduro snack would not hit again but luckily it had waited till I got home :P
Anyway despite my sore legs and little uncomfort regarding my bowel the bike felt okish and I even enjoyed it. Drank 1 litre of water.

felt very good. Although I was a little scared of this long run it went pretty well. I did not experience eny dificulties except for a little "crisis" of last 3 minutes of z3 - started to feel weak and those 3 minutes seemed to last forever. Had a little problem to go back to z2 then. My HR kept for quite long time at low z3 despite I decreased speed by about 0.5km/hour. But then everything started to feel well again and despite long run I really enjoyed last about 25 minutes and felt great.
Drank 1,5 litre of water
1 litre w salt and 27g of glucose
0,5 litre just pure water.

10 min wu (fast walk/very easy jog)
30 min run (or lets say faster jog)
5 min cd
very easy run
felt quite ok although I experienced 2 or 3 short periods of weakness - my legs went "rubber" and HR high, but each of them lasted just about 2 minutes.
Btw. my HR was higher than normally all the time (I mean considering the pace) but I think it is just the consequence of previous flu.
Drank about 1/2 litre of salted water
back + abs
righ after the run
just went easy - actually just testing water
felt quite good and strong
drank about 1/2 litre of salted water

hills on trainer
felt quite weak from yesterdays run but nothing I couldnt cope with. Had one carbo snack before (80 kcal 22g carbs) and 1 litre of salted water during the ride.
On uphills HR was at rpe 6 - 7.
chest
wanted to do my standard routine before my bike training but I was really tired from yesterday. The strenght training was a little weird. I mean I could do the workouts (i even increased my benchpress weight by 5kg (11 pounds)) but it somehow did not feel right. I felt no pain nor energy in my muscles. It was kinda "robot" feeling. Anyway after about 20 minutes of this weird feeling I started to feel really weak so decided to stop and be happy that I at least managed to do chest workouts and hopefully I will manage to put my arms workout in some strenght training this week.
