You will start to feel sleepy…
… if you are getting as little sleep as me! Some of it is my fault but most of it is to do with one of the kids being poorly and so having to clean the sink at 1am or get up at 4am the next day because one of the dogs is barking to get out. Aaagh!
Some of it will be because I’ve been training quite hard too. This week has gone well. Best day of the week was yesterday. I did a 4,000m swim session, that included 3 fast 400m in 6:09, 6:10 and 6:12 – pretty consistent. This is not as fast as last week (6:03, 6:05 and 6:16) because I am tired and because my normal ‘shadow’ in the pool wasn’t there to make me go quicker. At lunch time I did a treadmill run that included 12x 1 mins at the treadmills top speed of 12mph. It felt surprisingly easy. OK, that’s not really true. It just didn’t feel as hard as you might expect.
This morning I am up early because of the dogs. As soon as it gets light I will be off for a 4 hour bike ride. Then I’ll go for a 40 minute run when I get back. After that I would love to sleep. But it ain’t going to happen – too many chores.
