Week 17

Monday - day off. I like this taper off period, great excuse to stay in bed. Actually, I did about 1/2 hour stretching, hanging upside down and my 46 gut crunches on a ball. There, nice workout.

Tuesday - walk, well, that was different. 5.185 miles in 1:09:55, 4.4 mph (13'33" mile) @ 106 bpm. I like running better. Got blisters on my feet. Strange, I had the same shoes I run in, I don't get blisters running. Hmmm, it does use different muscles or at least uses them differently. I felt it in the evening.

Wednesday -
Bike to work, 1:15:09, 23.78 miles @ 18.9 mph @ 162 bpm. The bpm is unreliable, too many HR failures along the way. It's just too damn dry here and as soon as the wind blows through my jersey, the HR goes to 240 bpm. Took off CatEye in the morning, decided to go with GPS only.
Run at noon - 4.510 miles, 40:44.17 @ 6.6 mph (9'01" mile) @ 157 bpm
Bike home - 23.87 miles in 1:18:33 @ 18.2 mph @ 143 bpm. For once the wind was blowing almost in my direction. Nice.

Thursday -
Bike to work, 1:15:38, 23.78 miles @ 18.6 mph @ 155 bpm
Run at noon, 40:19.18, 4.526 miles @ 6.7 mph (8'54") @ 157 bpm
Bike home, 1:24:42, 23.87 miles @ 146 bpm (GPS gave up on me, crap)

This concludes my training. It's been fun. Next time I'll do Maffetone method.

Friday - Nothing
Saturday - Nothing
Sunday -
