This week was a recovery week timed now in part because I had a 3-day meeting, partly because I ran the Christchurch Half Marathon on Sunday and needed to taper and partly because it was roughly the right week to have a recovery week after three weeks of building.
I started the week with another 400 metre time trial in the pool and, to my surprise, I took 44 seconds off my previous time. That's a staggering 22 seconds a week, but I guess when you start from a base that is so slow, you can't help but make big leaps forward. Unfortunately I missed a short light run and pool session on Monday and Tuesday as my meeting started early and finished late each day.
The week finished with the Christchurch Half Marathon (discussed in my next post) and a pretty pleasing result of 1:47:39. In total the week consisted of four runs (39.9km in 3:53), two swims (2km in 1:15) and two rides (58.6km in 2:20). Thats a total of just on 7:18 of training.
