Training Review - Week 15 - April 10 to 16

Monday I took my commutes on my summer road bike. This seemed like a good idea when the weather forecast was dry but while the rain had stopped in the morning the roads were still greasy. That was still better than the evening when it was a ride into a drizzly headwind.

I didn't like the evening swim set but I managed to adapt it to something more useful.

Tuesday I just took an easy jog to work and in the evening I managed to get my weights session in to give me a chance at a taper in to Sunday. 

Wednesday I rode in to work despite the wet roads. In the evening I managed to sneak in an extra run session before going on an evening walking tour of the Lost Cinemas of Aberdeen. It was pretty cold but good fun.

Thursday I jogged to work and then did a second run in the evening before going to see Fast and Furious 8. Both runs we're a struggle and too slow to be useful. I really need to drop the run commutes for faster run sessions. 

Friday was just easy cycle commutes.

Saturday I started the morning with an extra core session. Then did absolutely nothing for the rest of the morning. I finally did some stretching after lunch and then sorted out my race kit for Sunday. In the evening I did some yoga.

Sunday was Turriff Triathlon, which will get a post to itself.
