Training Review - Weeks 49 & 50

Year end is rapidly approaching, and my cracked rib has continued to dent my plans. I am still managing to train, but instead of swimming 2,500 to 3,000m in a long session during I am only managing 1,200m and then having to stop rather than aggravate it and miss another session.

Also attempting to run every day through December has not cost me miles, but has meant that I am doing just over 5k each day, rather than doing 10k and a day off alternately. If the 5k's were faster this would make some sense, but they aren't. Still, since I talked someone else into doing the challenge I am going to stick with it myself. 

I was short of bike miles in the first week as the weather ruined any options for cycling commutes to other sessions and then I decided to go to Elgin and help clear out the garage at my mum's house rather than sit on the turbo for an hour, and that cost me my bike miles for both weeks. 

The rib stopped me from doing my weights sessions but in week 50 I managed to get some core work back in. Having now dropped under 72kg I expected my abs to start showing through, but apparently I have skipped way too many core sessions this year and there is no sign of them. I have moved my weight target to 71kg, but kicked the date out into next year. If I start going the wrong direction but gaining upper body muscles, I will just move that target again.
