Start of week 3

Today I managed 30mins in the pool

Did 100m pull, 200m swim, 200m pull, 100m swim, 200m pull and 200m swim

1000m in 25mins

I'd be delighted if I can sustain this speed at the Outlaw at the end of July 🤗 

Would equate to a 1:40 swim time 

Then yoga with Adele 

Followed by tea and cake at John Lewis with Abel and a walk / cuppa catch up with Caroline

Another top day 

Day 16 - end of week 2

What a day!!!

62km bike ride

Mad dash home for quick shower then jumped on my town bike and shot up to Piecarumba for a late lunch

I'm now watching the Hans Zimmer documentary that I recorded the other day and I feel awesome!

Who knows if I'll be tired / sore tomorrow when swimming / gym / yoga / afternoon tea and evening drinks but right now my body feels strong and fabulous 🥳

Plus I'm excited for week 3

I've identified my rest day for the next 8 days of training - each block includes my 4 day mini break plus my 4 days of 8am-8pm of work. 

I've also identified the work days when I'll be up at 6am to enable me to get to the gym or a swim before work, or to cycle to Wide Lane and catch the train to Winchester from Southampton Airport Parkway so I get some cheeky bike rides in.

#LizzieGoesLong is starting to take shape

Will also look at starting to get my fundraising in place for SIBs over the next few days 🤗

 

Day 15 - plan has been made

The 1st day of the start of each work rotation will be a rest day. So train 7 days, rest 1 but the 4 days when I'm not at work will be more intense than the 3 days I'm at work

When at work I will get up at 6am (not 1st day which is a rest day) and go to the gym, swim or an extended cycle to work. 

I'm feeling very positive about this 🤗

Day14

Yep, def need to rethink how to manage training and the 8-8pm shift

Will try 7:15am in the gym before the 8pm start at Highfield tomorrow morning

Will cycle to wide lane for the remaining sessions at WSA

Then once back in Southampton it should be a lot easier

How do people manage to train when commuting?? I have so much respect for them. 

Need a rethink

Training after work when at WSA = x2 days of epic fail

Will need to rethink how to manage training over the next couple of weeks when in Winchester before I head back to Southampton 🤔

Couldn’t do it!

Was supposed to go swimming this being 8-9pm but had a splitting headache and just couldn't do it.

Will have an early night 

Looks like swimming after a long day at work doesn't actually work. Will be back in Southampton within a couple of weeks so won't be able to swim after work from then - will explore  7am swims instead 🤔
