WB 28th March

Struggling to get meaningful training in at the moment.
This is particularly frustrating at the moment as I feel pretty fit at the moment.
Long runs that I have done recently are pretty quick and, more to the point I feel good, not really struggling at all.
I'm still spending a fair amount of time hospital visiting!
I'm hoping that the opportunity to rest a bit more than usual has a positive effect, rather than a negative effect.
Still managing to 'turbo' pretty regularly, but at this time of year, with the clocks going forward I was planning on running much more at nights. This isn't yet happening, and is really frustrating.
The plan is to run / exercise when possible and at weekends get at least a longish run in (minimum 10 miles)
Try to run the other day, when not possible, turbo.

I think the weekend run will be a run from Clough Head Car park out towards Hog Lowe Pike and then over the road and out towards Edgeworth and to the reservoirs there. Works out at over 10 miles for a run and is a route I've never taken before. Either that or the run I planned on doing last weekend, Great Hameldon twice about 12 miles.

Monday - Turbo - Fantastic session. 55 minutes. First 5 minutes at 80 revs with the tension at 30 out of 50, then upped the pace to a minimum of 90 revs, then upped the tension, keeping the revs up. All this done as and when I felt the urge to up the anti. Pushed it quite a lot and felt good. Could have done more.
Gone back to body weight exercises - squats, initially a set of 100, then 4 sets of 50. Sit ups a set of 100, then 4 sets of 50.
Tuesday -  Hospital visits.
Wednesday - 5 a side football. 3 touch at the moment = lots of running! - Still feeling good!
Thursday - Badminton for an hour. Lots of quick running, really good, sharp! - Struggling a bit at the moment  with hip and abductor soreness. Rest day Friday and a steady run Saturday will hopefully see that off.
