Mileage

After the pathetic 15k attempts at the end of August, I rested for a few days intending to return for 3 weeks of decent training. I started off with some gentle exercise - on the 30th I cycled to tennis, whilst 3 days before I cycled with my sister down to Medway rowing club and went on a bike ride while she went out sculling. I reckon I did 18k of rolling hills in addition to the 5k or so each way to the club. Anyway, after that:



1/9 - 3x6k (2'r) @18. 2:01.8 (all three).
2/9 - As above, 2:01.8, 2:01.7, 2:01.6.
3/9 - 60' exercise bike. 20.9 miles.
4/9 - 3x7k (2'r) @18. 2:01.7, 2:01.6, 2:01.6.
5/9 - 4x6k (2'r) @18. 2:01.8, 2:01.7, 2:01.7, 2:01.5.
6/9 - 15k @18. 1:58.8.


So, a fairly solid return to training. I was not far off 100k for the week, which is usually a good sign. My grand total for the summer (to the 6th) is now 622km on the ergo (excluding warm-ups etc.). It is possible that by the end of the summer training I will pass 750km. Yet strangely it really doesn't seem like I've done an awful lot.
