My recovery yesterday was stunning! After 10 hrs of training in two days - 3.5 hrs on Sat including an 18 km, 2 hour run in the pouring rain & massive crosswinds that changed to a headwind and 6.5 hrs on Sun including a 4:10 bike.
Sunday was the time I swam freestyle due to the finger problem. it stung but that was expected as the skin is tender new skin and the pool is salty.
A silver lining to doing only kick with fins and a flutter board - the 7000m in 3 days meant my gluts and hamstrings got a good workout and they are both areas I need to target. I've decided that my 4th swim of the week will now be technique in the warmup and 1500-2000m of a butt kickin' kick only set.
Did some worthwhile online research last week. There is so much info available it can be overwhelming. I now try to limit myself to returning to sources I trust for tips and advice.
Yesterday's recovery was interesting and busy. Up did light core strength workout and started cooking our weeks worth of meals. Then had an Osteopath appointment then home and cleaning chores then massage appointment then home to pick up Sealey for a walk. More cooking and then dealing with home and car insurance brokerage re increase that shouldn't be.
Didn't get taxes ready nor a bunch of other things on the to do list just never enough time.
Slept in this morning - well forgot to set alarm so I will have to add my run to workout after workday. So pool & track means I'll be home quite late and straight to bed as tomorrow morning is the longest and most brutal workout morning of my week. Oh well...
Happiness over last week and recovery will motivate me to push ahead!
Stay tuned ...
