Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? Even so, I'm really looking forward to going - should be a really good experience. So, update for the week before I go away:
4/9 - 2*6k @18 (3'r). 24:26.6 and 24:23.8. Weights and core. Spent about 3 hours in the afternoon playing football and cricket at the park for a friend's 21st.
5/9 2*30' @20 (5'r). 7507m and 7517m. Core exercises. Hartlip ride in 49:01.
6/9 - Tennis for a couple of hours.
7/9 - My second failure. 2k. I think I probably overdid it - my legs were aching quite a bit before I started. Just didn't have the strength to keep up to 30s/m so gave up with 600m to go. Would probably have gone 7:05-7:10, but it really wasn't worth it.
8/9 - 60' Fartlak. 15018m. Without doubt the hardest erg I have ever done. It hurt from about 15 minutes in and I just tried to keep going. I think I need a break. Core exercises after.
I have some running kit with me for up in the Alps and will try to do core exercises once a day whilst I'm away. When I get back, I have 6 days to make a difference before I go back to Cambridge. Will probably do a 5k test and then some more bike work/long erg work.
