Went to New York last week. The plan was to run for a week as I knew there wasn’t a pool in the hotel and no bike.
Anyway I ended up doing nothing for the week which was pretty bad. I went for a big cycle before I left which was hilly enough. Left the house headed to Kilmac, up long hill to roundwood, then annamoe, then laragh, then up sally gap then home via Roundwood and down long hill.
Tuesday, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Saturday in New York and did nothing. Went out again on Monday and did the same bike ride, did a swim aftewards. Tuesday did 50k bike ride followed by a swim. Wed did a speed session on the track followed by a swim. Thursday took a rest day and Friday did 2 hours on the bike with Razor Ryan.
Leading up to Burkes oil in Rathnew myself Liam and Razor usually have a bit of a sprint finish because we are all in or around the same level. No point racing when Bray Wheelers are there as we are just not up to that standard. So from when we left Gleneally until Burkes oil (prob about 6k) myself and razor were swapping the lead, the pace was pretty fast. Razor is one of the most determined people I’ve ever met so everytime he went past me I could see the pain etched into his face. We had a great old battle to Burkes oil which made the cycle much more enjoyable. Overall I was really pleased with training this week, still two more days to go but so far I’ve got in three swims, three bike rides, one run and still two days to get in some more runs.
