Post Thursday 2k ing at Q-Power the team is back to the normal grind in various places of the country and indeed world.
There is still some work to be done to finish of this week and cycle. For me it is was no different, so back to business as usual yesterday although slightly arse about face due to time restrictions.
A mid morning weights session went in which felt like a real struggle. Strength was down and it was just a case of head down, drop the weight slightly and plough through some reps in some big compound moves. I ended up super setting the exercises to try and get the job done a bit quicker.
Feeling pretty exhausted I hit a power nap in the afternoon which was followed with a simple 8km seeing as I didn’t feel I had the legs to do much else effectively. Also hitting weights first in the day is not ideal; we prefer to hit weights last for optimum growth and recovery.
Feeling well rested this morning I tackled some more distance work to bring the weekly km’s total up a bit.
Hot, hard and heavy as it suggests in the title was the outcome. Felt like a real slog from just a few km’s in. Didn’t fancy it and the mind was wondering pretty early on. Still, grinded through to get the job done and another 22km or so in the legs.
‘The Kiwi’ has her feet up on the other side of the world having rowed out the week very well. The pressure is still on my end to finish the job tomorrow with the last piece of the week.
Nearly there …..
