Doubles

So - I think that I've reached the point where Doubles are appropriate!
6 week out.... one rubbish run.... 'tis about time to up the ante!!!!

;o)

Oh - OK not really.

But I did swim today
not the 12 lengths with a rest after each one, and including 3 lengths of BMF stroke like a couple of days ago

Oh no!!! this was proper 'Swim Like a Splashy Flailing Dangerous Get Out Of My Way Or DIE' psycho maniac Swimming
:o)

and no stopping
and 26 lengths.

That's 650metres
not bad for an improper swimblist
No idea how long it took.... was concentrating too hard on not drowning.
[note to self - swimming lessons!]

And I shall go for a run tonight too (have just noticed that my quads have announced their presence)

Run Edit
As predicted - was turfed out of the door with instructions for a little slightly undulatory plod
The plan - run to a heart rate...... lasted about a ¼mile.
Change of plan - run to breathing and just see what pace and HR happen!

Good Plan me!!!!
:o)

Presence of quads was duly noted - slight tightness in Hamstrings and Adductors also noted - apart from that, I felt like I was running, albeit somewhat ponderously!
And yes I know it's all relative - but for me - it felt heavy and uncoordinated.. but not quite like it did on Wednesday.
And the toxic 20 (well, toxic 3 miles) is truly horrible at the moment.
I know it will pass - and I know that things will come together soon enough.
But I can also see how people can get very disheartened with their progress too..!!

But this was a good start I think....

Distance: 6.7 miles
Time: 57:55
Pace: 8:38 min/mile
AvHR: 168bpm
