Doing the Du: Week 13
Posted Mon, 28th Jul '08 at 7:02pm by Decados
Well, start of another week and so time once again for an update.
Was rather tired during the first half of last week, but since I wasn't sleeping well the cause may well not have been the start of overtraining. Still, I eased off a tad in the second half and concentrated on getting to bed earlier- the tiredness passed soon enough.
The weather over here has been lovely (on the whole- this is still Scotland), so training outside has been quite a pleasure. Long may the sunny days continue!
It may not be especially relevant to the endurance training, but I've also changed the way I approach strength training, starting this week. Before I was going to the gym about twice a week with one day focussing on upper body and the other day on lower body. I'm now going to divide different parts of the body up between three days. This is primarily because I was struggling to properly develop the entire upper body on just one day- muscles like the triceps were fatiguing too soon for others like the shoulders and chest to get properly worked. Hopefully this way will result in more well-rounded increases (plus a bit less time in the gym each session). Time will tell.
Anyways, this week is a recovery week so here are the times:
Running - 60 minutes
Biking - 110 minutes
Bricks - none
As always, comments are welcome.
