This week was a real test and, like everyone had already been telling me, my body finally let me know it was time to take a little bit easier for a few days. I don't think that the length of time or distances are the problem, its just I am doing too many sessions at too high an intensity. Not all sessions are too intense, but there probably half a just a little too close to race pace. This week also saw me introduce a bit more hill work on the bike and, although some of the hills were a bit tough, I enjoyed it immensely.
This week I did a total of 12.1 hours, a 4% increase over last week. Swimming increased by a total of 5 minutes over 4 sessions to 2 hours 25 minutes. Cycling distance was down by 7 km (142.8km), but the time was up by 33 minutes to 5 hours and 1 minute (mainly due to the additional hil work). Coversely, my runs were up in distance (up by 1.3km to 37.5km) and down in time (down by 9 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes), due to a couple of faster runs.
