Event: Springtime in Shropshire

10 AM

Swimming 48:55 [3] 1.95 km (25:05 / km)
slept:6.4

Had hoped to do 2K but just ran out of time. Pleasing though and although was tired by the end, it didn't feel too tough. My longest swim thus far.

Thursday May 25, 2017 #

6 PM

Running 34:01 [2] 5.0 km (6:48 / km) +35m 6:34 / km
slept:4.8 shoes: Asics DS Trainer 19

Stinky warm afternoon and decided to push things a little further - a slow jog with some walky bits - even used the path through the woods (alongside NE road) which helped too. Nice to have got out.

Wednesday May 24, 2017 #

5 PM

Walking 34:45 [1] 4.5 km (7:43 / km)
slept:7.0 (injured)

Fed up of not exercising. The injury is not going away and I'm not getting any younger... I'd rather do something and live with the discomfort than not. Tesco and included some joggy bits.

Event: SOS Urban Colchester

Note
(injured)

A week off to try and sort injury - but it's lingering and pain/tightness still present at top of hamstring/buttock. Tried stretching and stuff and that seems to make it worse. A bit frustrating...

Tuesday May 16, 2017 #

Note
slept:6.3 (injured) (rest day)

Tough day with early start (7.30 board meeting) and lots of other meets.

Monday May 15, 2017 #

Note
slept:7.5 (injured) (rest day)

Sore from yesterday... Had hoped to get out swimming but work got in the way.

Sunday May 14, 2017 #

9 AM

Mountain-biking 2:04:09 [3] 48.0 km (2:35 / km)
slept:5.6

Over to Ely (leaving Exning about 915) then with D before leaving at 11.55am. Lovely time and ride... except punctured as I re-entered Exning. D'oh!

Saturday May 13, 2017 #

Note
slept:7.8 (injured) (rest day)

Another 'rest' day (LOL!)... busy morning then down to Seaford for Dad's secret birthday 'bash' finally getting home at 1130pm.

Friday May 12, 2017 #

5 PM

Walking 53:21 [1] 6.0 km (8:54 / km)
slept:5.1 (injured) shoes: Asics GT1000

Hamstring sore so mostly walked to Halfords and Tesco.

Thursday May 11, 2017 #

4 PM

Running 35:25 [2] 6.5 km (5:27 / km)
slept:6.5 shoes: Asics GT1000

A joggy jog (so kinda slow so as not to aggravate hamstring), with a few sections of fast walking. Seemed to be okay. From Badminton Close into town and back via the Uni Library.

Wednesday May 10, 2017 #

6 AM

Mountain-biking 1:12:21 [3] 28.0 km (2:35 / km)
slept:5.1

Awake early and worked before getting decent light to cycle using the Biz to Witchford via North End and then R11... great on the dirt and fun anyway. Chilly (6C?) and pedalled fast to stay warm. Sun helped by the end. Cracking route and ride - better than the one to Impington.

4 PM

Mountain-biking 1:13:04 [3] 28.0 km (2:37 / km)

Back using the same route and in spite of less clothing and nice warmth was slightly slower! Breeze can be the only reason.

Tuesday May 9, 2017 #

4 PM

Walking 43:43 [2] 5.5 km (7:57 / km)
slept:5.8 shoes: Asics DS Trainer 19

More of a jog than walk - certainly down to town (Cam) and then at a strong stroll (with soggy bits) back to where parked on some street beyond Oxford Rd. Also did quite a bit around city.

Monday May 8, 2017 #

1 PM

Swimming 34:18 [4] 1.5 km (22:52 / km)
slept:5.8 (injured)

Strongest swim to date...

Sunday May 7, 2017 #

11 AM

Mountain-biking 1:17:59 [3] 24.0 km (3:15 / km)

First proper ride on the Biz and great fun - North End, Burwell, Upware channel path to Wicken back on 51 into B'well and thence to Devil's Dyke and back on Heath Rd. Only downsides were nettles on channel path and thorns on the DD. Much preferable than road cycling... think I'm gonna enjoy MTBing.

Event: British Long Championships (UKOL) / Relay Championships

Note
slept:7.0 (injured) (rest day)

Hilarious idea of a rest day - on road by 830 to get to Blackpool (via Sheffield), watch the match and back home for 1130pm.

Friday May 5, 2017 #

5 PM

Walking 18:30 [2] 3.0 km (6:10 / km)
slept:5.5

Jog-walked to Halfords to collect the Biz...

6 PM

Mountain-biking 20:00 [3] 5.0 km (4:00 / km)

Rode the Biz back from Halfords via Studlands where I found paths and grass to wend my way back - great fun.

Thursday May 4, 2017 #

7 AM

Cycling 1:03:31 [3] 27.7 km (2:18 / km)
slept:5.5

To work... A bit chilly (8C) but a nice ride.

5 PM

Cycling 1:07:59 [3] 27.7 km (2:27 / km)

Home from work into a strong and chilly breeze which seemed to be mostly head and occasionally cross... All in all, pretty unpleasant!

Wednesday May 3, 2017 #

5 PM

Walking 50:20 [2] 7.0 km (7:11 / km)
slept:8.3 (injured) shoes: Asics GT1000

After good day working at home, got out for this joggy walk to Londis then to Halfords (to get my new toy!) and finally Tesco and back. Hammy tight but managed this okay.

Tuesday May 2, 2017 #

Note
slept:6.1 (injured) (rest day)

Physio - which confirmed the issues in the hamstring (and further tightness in calf). Will be able to cross-train (so long as pain absent) - elliptical, cycle and swim, plus walking. Review in 2 weeks and hopefully get to Shropshire?

Monday May 1, 2017 #

10 AM

Walking 1:30:00 [1] 9.0 km (10:00 / km)
slept:8.5 (injured)

Walked to Newmarket and back via Tesco and Halfords... hamstring tight still.
