Real swimmers will say it is an easy session but that rules me out......it was hard!
In contrast, bike training is going ok. I did a nice turbo session yesterday of 3 x 15 mins with 5 mins recovery. The first two 15 min reps were at 290W and the third 15 min rep was at 300W. That was hard mentally but manageable. Check out the slow guy I past on my warm down....
Sure, he had all the gear. Didn't quite catch his name......Prance....or something like that.

I'm going "wibble" just reading that.
Mate, I know I nag you a lot about rest etc but you seem to be doing a hard session in one or other discipline every day at the moment. You do need to back off regularly to allow the body to recover and become stronger.
Nag over. For now.
Train smart buddy, train smart.
I had a very easy day on Tuesday - just an easy 25 mile spin. This is a scheduled hard week for me.....well I decided last Monday that it would be a hard week! Does that count as scheduled?
You know the cheeky turbo/run session planned for today - report to follow. A nice EZ open water swim this evening if all goes to plan.............which it never does!
You need a day or two off. Even I have a day of it's called friday and it's the day the house is cleaned the garden tidied and I put my feet up with a takeaway and a glass of rose in the garden and enjoy the fruits of my labour.
Seriously have a day away with the girls, relaxing and enjoying bowling, cinema, Alton Towers and leave the trainers, bikes and swim stuff behind and have a mental and physical release.
Have a treat as well, I have a chocolate orange with my name on at home waiting.
never have a day off sags, that way you will be so tired that we can all beat you!!

I bet that chocolate orange doesn't have your name on - I bet it's "Terry's"!
