Started to get hard at the end, but it was a short session. Felt good.

OK ride. Did several periods of staying at 90rpm or above. Noticed my HR VERY gradually crept up during these sessions from 135 to 150.

I feel like my kick is really improving, finally. I guess I don't use my quads for much else, so it has taken time to get them stronger. I felt like I finally developed a second gear in my kick, which was actually a little fun today! I can't keep it up for long (fast kick) but it's nice to actually HAVE a fast kick.

Bike
  • 1h 00m 06s
  • 16.56 miles
  • 16.53 Mi/hr

Tried to keep cadence at 90. During the last 15 minutes I did the 30s-on/10s-off drill. Then cooled down.

January 16

Run
  • 34m 12s
  • 3.37 miles
  • 10m 09s /Mi

It's an easy week. I thought about going long, but felt like turning around at 16 minutes, so I did. Overall felt good, but slow. My hr was low, but RPE kind of high. Maybe I need the recovery week! That's why I turned around. I think I need to take it easy.

200 swim

300 [50 kick easy, 50 swim build x 3]

[1 x 200
2 x 100
4 x 50]
repeat set and make the second time through faster.

Tough day. We had superfastguy in the lane again. I realized if I stayed with Gretchen I could draft and keep up. She usually wasn't staying up with him, but we weren't getting lapped. Once she got out to go to the locker room for a minute. I tried to stay with him and managed for 2 or 3 lengths, but on a turn he got away from me, and once I was out of his draft zone he pulled away quickly.
I worked very hard during all of these sets and was breathing really hard.

Did my Thurs run on Wed. Decided not to make up the spin class I missed. It's supposed to be a recovery week anyway.
