Another good week

Review of week 29 (21-05 to 27-05)

Periodisation: Build 1

Weekly aims were:

1. Complete a quality track session (run) on Thursday - will affect Park Run on Friday: will be slower or miss altogether depending on how legs feel.
2. Complete first open water swim in Mooragh Park lake in under 23 minutes.
3. Park Run in 21-23 mins - not expecting any records this week!
4. Look at increasing stroke rate on Sat swim session.

Due to inclement weather decided to replace the track session on Thurs with a fartlek session instead. A smart move I feel. First Mooragh swim was 23:06 and Park Run 21:09 - close enough for swim and well inside aim for run. Good. As for 4, I did look at stroke rate but I'm not convinced I'm going to get much quicker! Aimed for 9 hours training, got 9 hours done.

Physiological stats

Average Weight (kg) in morning: 74.0 (same)

Average Heart Rate (bpm) in morning: 46.4 (up 1.2bpm)

Glad weight didn't go up by another Kg otherwise I'd definitely be worried. HR in morning has been pretty similar to last week. No worries there.

Preview of week 30: 28-05 to 03-06

Periodisation: Build 2

Build 2 essentially means that I'll be incorporating more race-specific workouts than in build 1. However, because I enjoy doing lower intensity base work, this won't be neglected either.

Weekly aims:

1. Swim Mooragh in under 23 mins. Faster than last week. Hopefully this will be part of a Swim-Bike-Run brick sequence on Sat morning.
2. Complete run speed session on Thurs.
3. Get rough idea about what's best to eat!
