Woke early to run but felt flat and tired. Opted for after brunch hit out. Just wanted to start before the rain came. I got a little wet towards the end, nothing too major.

Long run of the week along the beach. Actually felt ok given I had a stomach ache and was previously tired. Tried to keep it close to 155. Found at 157 to really be pushing it and needing to slow down.

Couldn't go much longer without food.

An 11km run is on the cards, but I'm also pretty keen to get on the bike for a couple of hours to see how the new fit + back go. Decisions! Running is definitely the priority and it's looking like tomorrow is going to be the better weather. Run before brunch, ride after brunch??

I'm just back from my bike fit. I have above average flexibility, but tightness in my upper back. Apparently my hip strength is laughable. My ass is lazy, in that my glutes don't engage or when they do they're pretty slow to turn on. I tend to slump in my lower back region when sitting, but my core isn't actually that bad. A few things to work on indeed.

Lifted my seat post 2cm - I can hardly touch the ground - handle bars were lifted too. Riding back to work from the physio felt really good. I'm due to see him again in three weeks, but I absolutely HAVE to do the strength exercises he's set me before we can progress.

April 6

Lots of running around doing chores on a day off. No cycling/running time, though I did manage to book a bike fit appointment with a physio for Thursday. I had one just before IM, which in hindsight was poor timing. No major changes were made due to the fact I was about to spend 7 hours on a bike. So it's time for a revisit and hopefully minimise the back pain I'm experiencing.

Run
  • 40m
  • 5.00 kms
  • 08m /KM

**Distance is a guess** Hilly run along the MTB track. Running in the bush/forest makes a pleasant change. The hills really get the HR going!

Sport
  • Walking
  • 1h 00m

Walked part of the course we ran on Saturday. Got to enjoy the views a little more!

April 4

Sport
  • Mountain Bike
  • 40m

A better go at the track, this time with more success/confidence on the bike. Didn't hurt my back at all.
