Deeper into Winter
Almost 1 month on from my last post where I outlined my Duathlon plans and I have managed to maintain my track sessions. Conditions seem to play a large part in hitting the pace that I outlined. The last couple of sessions at Bristol were completed in really poor conditions - very wet and cold. I just felt like the muscles wouldn’t work and the pace was not great. I managed another session with NTC in Stoke and that was a bit better, though legs were fatigued from the previous weekend. I have to focus on the longer term goals as the temptation is to try and be fresh for these track sessions and that means easing up 3 days before! My powers of recovery are almost non-existent!
I’ve struggled to get sufficient sleep too. The pace of work and juggling domestic struggles is really taking a toll on me - mentally and physically. I’m trying to be sensible and take more rest days. However, rest days don’t seem to recharge me and I’m left stale and flat. Not sure what the answer is to all this. We do what we can . . . .
On a much more cheery note, check this awesome pic from CJ.
