30 weeks to go

After falling last weekend, being put in plaster from my elbow to my thumb, being told I couldn't do anything for at least 11 days, with a possibility of pot for 6 weeks, this week was better than expected.
The pot came off Tuesday, being replaced with a splint, so although I had to still be careful, I could at least do bits.
So the training this week was light, (4 rest days!) but still ran twice, plus a couple of turbo sessions which is much more than nothing at all.


SUNDAY
Run – 7.5 miles, hilly run
Good Then BAD
A hilly loop session around Musberry Heights etc. 7.5 miles. 5.5 miles in fell hurting left hand / wrist. Hospital pm – in plaster!
VERDICT - Nothing for 11 days!!!
MONDAY

Bad
Feel like a caged Tiger!!
TUESDAY
Bad
Back at hospital – Plaster removed, splint on. Can start again sooner than expected.
WEDNESDAY
THURSDAY
Bike - Turbo
Good
40 minutes, tension at 30, after 20 minutes revs above 100.
FRIDAY
Road run – Hill session
Good
4 miles of hill work in 40 minutes. Up hill 100m, down 50m repeat
SATURDAY
Good
Rest
4th - 11th 
Bike – Turbo
Squats 4x50
Sit-ups 4x50
Good
55 minutes, tension at 30, after 20 minutes revs above 100. Felt great


Need to get more running done.
The road run on Friday pm with Nick was, for a road run, concentrating on hills, actually quite enjoyable. Plan to do 2 to 3 of these a week. Felt strong going up hill which is a great feeling to have. Could have done quite a few more reps, but didn't want to over do it!

This week, plan to pick up the training again.
The week after is 2 weeks of holidays and hopefully a few long runs. The plan is to do a few 15 miles plus just to see where I'm at with regard to stamina. I think I should be good, but time will tell.
