Had two training sessions this week on my 2 days off monday and tuesday.
I managed to do a 20 mile stint out on my mountain bike while it was a nice sunny day :) it was the first proper ride i'd had on my bike this year so far,and i had forgotten just how uncomfortable the seat was :( but i managed it,and i must say really enjoyed it although it was a tad breezy.
I pretty much followed my running route out down the Coast rd and through Churchtown and back into Southport,then turned around and did it again in reverse.Wasn't a bad ride overall.
Day two was a 10K run as my legs were tired from my cycle ride,and i was regretting it when i started as my legs felt empty with regards to energy,but i trundled on.
It was a bit breezy which made it a bit difficult and i found myself stopping a few times for a 3 min breather as it was hot again,and i had a 5 min walk half way round again.
Strangely overall i matched my fastest time for a 10K and with the stops i had it was a good time,so i was very happy overall.
In the upcoming weeks i will be stepping up my training a bit by doing a few 3-4 mile runs during the week,as well as my one long run per week,so we'll see how i get on :))
Bye for now
