Week 10 wrap up

Totals: 106.3 miles, 12.4 hours.

This was the Run focused week. This week I ran 36 miles. I did a total of 106 miles, and a total of 12.4 hours. This week was far better than last and I felt great through most of my workouts. I say most because I had a pretty tough run on friday. Was very slow and sluggish, but it was the third day in a row of running. However the virtual day off on saturday, where all I did was an easy 1500 yard swim rejuvenated me. I did my first, "half marathon" distance in about a year but it was one of the easiest runs I've ever done. I felt great the whole time, even had a negative split. My HR started rising to the 170's by the end of the run but I never felt out of breath. I felt as if I easily could've gone on for a while longer. I had some really good swim sessions. I had two high intensity sessions which was the run on tuesday and the bike on friday. The run session was 90 minutes consisted of seven 10 minute repeats of 7 minute tempo sessions with 3 minute rests. The bike session was a 90 minute session with 6 repeats of 12 minute tempos with 3 minutes of RPE 3.
All in all it was a really good week of training, especially considering how rotten last week was. Next week comes the bike focused week which should be a joy. Though sunday I will perform my longest bike ride of my life. The week after was supposed to be my recovery, however because of the Half Ironman on Oct 1st, I'm switching weeks, so I'm going to be pretty beat by the time that week gets here.
