• 20-26th April

Lighter week as we enter the taper. So now is the time to be smart and not overtrain as we need to be fresh for the big day. I reckon you’ve banked enough points, especially in recent weeks to give a good account of yourself in Mallorca in a few weeks time. So now we just need to trust the taper. Any issues let me know. Monday’s track session will be something different but should be similar in points and I am down to run.

Maintaining your current 5k pace will get progressively more challenging as a session unfolds. So breaking it down in this nature should allow you to maintain that pace for the whole session.

Feeling the fatigue in the legs during this one, funny cos my hr doesn’t seem to know about it too much.
The two are different and that’s something I’ve noticed coming back from injury. I feel great aerobically and feel I could push harder but the muscles and tendons are really tight cos I haven’t done as much running as I would like. So a lack of conditioning. I imagine its similar for you given you have done a lot of work on the bike and in the pool. But another good session in the bank, it was a decent one that one.

Did an easy Z2 spin for 60mins today, just to keep the legs moving.
Nice. All the points count. Well done Mitch.

14pts | 45 Mins Swim

14 POINTS

It’s said that 1 minute of swimming has the same benefit as 1 minute of running. So a nice 45 minute swim replaces an easy 45 minute run and takes away any impact. Ideal if you are struggling a little with injury.

40min swim + 30min easy-ish run (no run is easy with the silly hills round here)!.. Rest day Thursday as busy then pick it up on friday again.
Nice, banking some good points right now. No wonder Garmin loves you.

Did a faster 17km run today on the beach front. Just needed to prove to myself I could run at that pace after the HHM failure. Thats my last hard run will back off now and taper up.
We saw you as we finished our crazy golf game. You looked super strong as you went past and some really good pacing here. Awesome work Mitch

2km CD @ Easy Pace RPE: 3

A pretty standard HM session, good to practice race pace without pushing too hard. Make sure you keep focusing on good form, especially as you tire. And enjoy. This sort of session should feel relatively controlled but also like you’re working at a decent level. Go get ’em.
