not the best

funny olde week all told.sleep has been hard to come by. training has been mediocre as a result.did a core session with fabulous on monday night which was pretty good. although there is something…..disconcerting about watching fab do squats with an olympic bar. After that straight into the pool for a blast again with Fabulous. Fab is a better pool swimmer than me so wasnt sure i’d be able to hold onto him. plus he can tumble turn. Fab has come a long way since last year in his knowledge on alot and again learnt a bit more on technique. So we did some drills then 10 times 100 meters at 1.45. the aim was whatever time u do the 100 in the rest of the time left of 1 min 45 secs was your rest period. I spent most of the first 5 on fabs feet and we were going well. 130, 135s . The second 5 we took it in turns in the lead. Good swim.Fab did look quite fucked and i wasn’t too far behind him.Probably wouldnt train that hard on my own.

Tuesday morning came and went and i didnt feel too bad as i did the extra run sunday morning. Although i was beating myself up a bit as i still felt i was missing a session . Tuesday night came home and felt pretty good and finally decided to do an ftp test on trainer road. The feel good feeling lasted oh, i dont know 5 mins. Bag of shit. legs like lead power was rubbish still not convinced that power tap is right. Again , unless my ftp is 230watts. My dog Ben probably has a higher ftp than that before his medicine in the morning. So after 22 mins i dejectedly climbed off the bike and fucked it off. Bit gutted.

Wednesday rest day which although clearly needed felt like a real slacker for taking it.

Thursday and in the pool . busy. but again did 10 times 100m . first 2 or 3 were 130 then down to 140s knocked out the 10 . 2.5 k all told.

Thursday night and really feeling like i’ve had a slack week so its got to be a full session on the rollers. So here’s the stats. A 20 minute effort. Average speed 30.6mph . distance 10. 2 miles(so thats under 20mins for 10 miles) (no wind resistance on the rollers , probably slightly less rolling resistance too) (and its pan flat) 53 14 . at 90 revs per minute. average power 241 watts. REALLY…..REALLY. COME ON LETS HAVE THAT AGAIN SHALL WE!! Thats got to be wrong. Hasnt it???????????

Tom hasnt managed to get us on the track this week and isnt going. So i’ve emailed Matt and kinda promised to keep all my toys in the pram this week. so hopefully get on there tomorrow night. There’s talk of doing the Daffodil classic sportive on Sunday on the tandem and the hilarity that will bring. but we’ll see
