Week 11 - The Final Slacking Week
12/03/12 - Rest Day
13/03/12 - Bike Session (Turbo)
Simple turbo session, in the gym, as this is the last week of "slacking" I thought I'd give the bike an over 1 hour sessions to see how the legs get on for the 2 hour sessions planed next week. I forgot my Garmin so I've got no statistics but I felt good after the session.

Duration 01 15 00
Distance 25 Miles
14/03/12 - Run Session (Treadmill)
Another testers session for me here, most of the first weeks are sessions of 75 minutes plus, I know I can run for that distance, and more on top but this is day after day activity. I felt good and strong, and I kept my work rate high, and kept in the T3 zone.

15/03/12 - Swim Session (Penlan Pool)
Its finally arrived, the first swim session of the season. I know I've left it a quite a while for a swim session but I was really keen to get back into the pool and I really enjoyed it. I can definitely see my stroke still needs some work and my breathing needs to switch back to every for 4 strokes, but this will come with the more I swim.
It was a simple and quick session:
4 x 400m = 1600m
I was lucky enough to have a lane to myself, so it was interrupted swimming which was brilliant, as I could go at the pace I wanted to and wasn't held up or rushed. I split the 4 sets into freestyle, pull buoy, fins and finished with another set of freestyle

17/03/12 - Interval Session (Lamphey, Pembrokeshire)
I needed to complete a short sharp session, so I decided to complete an interval session, its one of Chrissie Wellington ones composed by Audiofuel. Its a tough one. 40 minutes at 1875- to 185 beats per minute and then finish with 4 sprints with recovery. My lungs were burning after this session, Its a great one, but a killer!
I would have been great to have my heart rate monitor on to see how hard I was working as it felt tough, I managed to complete an old route I used to do in a pretty fast pace, and they included the recoveries, probably at 10 min mile pace, but the hard pace efforts were completed at XXX.
