Training Log Archive: schnitzer

Went for a walk after lunch over to the major windblow area around the classic hill, first time in daylight since the storm. One of the big trees that has fallen is at approx 45 degrees, resting on a smaller, dead tree that is somehow still standing. I've ducked under that tree a couple of times recently, oops. Risking more than just a broken knee there.

I had thought it would be safe to just tidy up a bit and still use the classic hill exactly the same as before. It's a fairly obvious decision now to re-route it - planned that today, cleared some of the dead stuff but will have to go back with the saw to make it properly meathead again. Shouldn't be significantly different in terms of distance/climb.

3*3.5km on the rower today, felt harder than the HR suggests but still an easy session. Still resistance level 0/10.

I think it was difficult to get my HR up today because I am a little fatigued, have increased the volume of training quite significantly the last few weeks. All things considered it feels pretty amazing to be able to say that I probs need a bit of a rest week!

Did my range of movement exercises before this, they went ok considering the abuse I've put my knee through the last few days. That's 3 times this week and what with next week's plan of less hours/intensity on the cardio side there's a good opportunity to get back into a routine again, from a strength/stability perspective.

Stretching was good tonight, certainly felt better than earlier in the week.
