Those of you with children will recognise the title....
Down to earth since La Santa with a beautiful 4.5 hour ride in the rain Monday. The joys of having to go out rain or shine!!! I contemplated 4.5 hours on the turbo for all of about 5 seconds. Little brick run off the back of it and feeling OK. Although the groin is still twinging a little so still keeping the run volume low and generally confined to treadmills or cushioned tracks.
Worried I am losing something on my run although felt a bit better about it after keeping up a good pace on the treadmill for an hour and a half this morning - a few days break from running now and out with the pulsed electr magnetic healing device. Yes - all the mod-cons here, its actually a new product we are launching at work. You wear it over the injury in bed at night and it speeds up the healing process. Worked for my pulled calf so hoping it will work the magic on the groin. As you can imagine though this ones a bigger injury!!!
Positively this has made me do more bike, my bike volume in KM over the last few months has been:
591
655
776
821
1246
1309 June to date....
As a result, Bike (my weakest discipline) has definitely improved. Just need to get the groin 100% and establish running again in these last 14 weeks. Scary! 14 weeks to go.
So back to the childrens title.....
Training is now circa 20/21 hours a week, tough to fit in with family commitments. This weekend we have a family visit to Basingstoke, catastrophe for training!!!! Mmmmm, if I set off at 6am I can get a 166km training ride and meet them there at lunchtime. Win, win, and with the added bonus that the children get to play spot the plonka with a yellow jacket riding a bike!!!
Just hope the rain keeps off this time.....
