The Aquathon on 21 July went well, my swim time was better than expected and the run OK.
My run time was 26:47, which is slower than my pb of 25:15, but I was still glad to get around a race with no knee pain.
I have since then, been away on holiday and managed to get in 2 x 30 minute runs and 1 x 45.
I wanted to break myself back in the programmes gently and rather than risk the knee straight off with the 3*2k, I have missed the first week off the programme and started on Sunday with 45 minute easy run and this morning completed my 5 *1k, the first one I've done in a while. Times were as follows:
5:09
5:11
5:00
5:04
5:08
I was quite pleased with that. I was going to then follow this shorter programme until the end and then start a the proper 3 week programme and go from there. Is this OK or should I make any adjustments? I have no races planned until October, so plenty of time. I think enough to finish this cycle and then complete 2 more.
Kind regards
