Blowing to pieces? Not me I'm on the Bomb Disposal approach.

That Was The Week That WasWeek 10 completed
Hours Trained: 3H 30Mins
Swimming: 0K (0 Miles)
Cycling: 29.86 Miles
Running: 8.00 Miles

Week 10 was a much lower volume week which was only to be expected as we were in EuroDisney for a few days.  I didn't do any swimming, so it will be great to get back in to the pool again tomorrow morning - albeit for 3000M in an 18M pool.  Aaarrrgh!

 

Next week looks like a busy one and it will be tough enough trying to squeeze in almost 9 hrs of training during Christmas week.  I can't believe this is week 10 of my training and I am more than 1/4 of the way through.  I do feel a bit fitter, certainly not any faster, but definitely able to do things within HR zone and this is the objective of Ironman training - to make sure you can get through the distance without blowing to pieces.

In that respect I think things are going pretty well overall and in some ways I am actually looking forward to the intensity of the workouts cranking up a bit to get that feeling of being really pushed.  (Can't quite believe I am saying something like that and I might regret it in the future!)

 

Here is the week ahead.
