A fairly poor week

But here we go anyway:

9/4 - 15 holes of golf.
10/4 - 4x500m, 1'r. 1:42.4 @33, 1:42.3 @34, 1:41.7 @34, 1:42.6 @35. Last one was awful. So did long weights and core session. Sprinted back on the bike in 10:00.
11/4 - Failed a 30' effort about 2k in. There was just nothing there. So did long weights and core session.
13/4 - Played a round of golf and then went to the gym. 2x1k, 1'r. Gave up 500m into the second, the first was 3:24.9 @33. So, did long weights and core session (there's a pattern developing here). Sprinted back in 9:50.
14/4 - Cycled to tennis and played for about 3 hours.
15/4 - 2x1k, 1'r (I wanted to finish this time). 3:24.8 @33 and 3:31.8 @33. Long weights and core session, sprinted back in 9:45.

I was pleased with my effort earlier - given how sore my legs were. Let's see if I can improve this week. I'd like to do a practice 2k. I have a cunning new strategy to test...

I hope you are training different parts of the body in these consecutive days weights sessions, otherwise you probably aren't giving yourself enough recovery time!

this 'cunning new strategy' wouldn;t have anything to do with pulling harder would it?

No, I'm going to put the erg on a slope so that I have gravity to help me keep the rate up...

6:58.6. 0.1 seconds outside my PB, which is deeply frustrating. However, I like the strategy - I think it works well for me. Now for some more determination on Wednesday...
