Standard job, felt quite meh, not bad but wasn’t feeling that comfortable either. Think just a bit tired from the last few days of cycling. No bike action this weekend, cba.

Tough core session, really humid, was sweating buckets.
Running 15:00 [2] 3.26 km (4:36 / km) shoes: New Balance 1080 v9 #2
Sticking to the weekly plan. All good, at most a 1/10 pain in my Achilles on the same foot but don’t think it’s in the same place. Good signs. 30’ on Saturday and 45’ on Sunday, then back to normal.

Nice loop, lovely evening, enjoying myself. Lots of wildlife dodging, had to keep on high alert. I am aware this is technically a second activity of the day, I apologise.
On the city bike again. Stunning day, little bit breezy but not too bad. Fun fact about Malmesbury, it’s the home of James Dyson, he started up a big hoover business or something like that but can’t actually remember what the business is called. Ah well heard he’s quite rich now. Didn’t bonk and fuelled by a singular banana. Good times.
Cycle today and tomorrow, short run on Thursday (10-15mins) where a vibe check will be conducted, cycle Friday, run Saturday (~30mins) and Sunday (45-60mins) (if ankle feels better). Fingers crossed back to normal next week. If ankle isn't getting any worse with these runs could be tempted just to carry on running as normal.

Easy round the lanes:
38.0km / 27.2kph Road bike still broken so on my sisters hybrid. Looked like an absolute weapon but tbh the thing rode surprisingly well. Put my clip in pedals on the bike which made things much more enjoyable. Bike not too heavy just suboptimal aerodynamics with the punter handlebars and fat tyres. Tempted by a longer boy tomorrow. Will see how I feel.
Pretty worried about my ankle. Not entirely sure what it is but hopefully just a bit of inflammation of a tendon. Not calling it an injury just yet but need to be sensible so mileage will most likely take a hit this week just to get rid of it then hopefully I can carry on as normal after. Sad times, 15 week graph of consistent mileage is going to come to an end.

Carcas core session, rated it, solid 8/10. Plank at the end was horrible.
