Fortnightly Review - Weeks 19 & 20

Finally back in the water. I have binged on swimming since I have been allowed back in the pool. It is slow, but it is improving. 11 swims in 2 weeks. Some of them felt like they should be in the 'junk swims' list but for now I am going to just accept that they are basic volume as I try to get back into it. I have already managed to shift my 1,000m time from 18:36 on my first swim to 17:44 by the end of my second week.  

I also used my commutes to the pool to get in some extra time on the mountain bike. The first couple of times I just took the road, but then I have started experimenting with some random trails that require a bit of a detour but get me some basic off-roading practice. I am still spending more time on the turbo than I really want to, but it has become an easy habit due to the minimal prep and the ability to multi-task while I am pedalling.

I did my first run reps session of the year. It was just 3 hill reps, but it was a long, tough hill, and I did them straight on the back off my first swim reps session. I am still running too much. Having gone through 500 days in a row I should have stopped. I still have some SmashRun badges to earn that need me to stay on daily for another 90 days, so for now I am sticking with that. I have moved to their minimum run of 1-mile a day rather than the target I was using myself (5km or 30mins as minimum). This does mean that some days I can cut it right back to just being a 10 minute jog as a warm up or brick instead of doing a 'full' run.

I fell a little behind on weights/core/yoga as my sleep pattern has been a mess and I am struggling for morning sessions before work.
