Splashalot came out of retirement yesterday for an upwind/downwind afternoon run. We did 12 kilometres, averaging 10 km/hour on the return which even Splashalot thought was pretty decent. According to my Garmin watch, I spent 9 minutes in Zone 5 and 30 minutes in Zone 4, and the graph shows a sharp dichotomy between the paddle out (all aerobic/zone 3) and the all out sprint paddling to catch runners on the way back. I felt fitter and stronger and caught more waves than usual, although the final kilometre or so I was starting to feel pretty knackered and more like a floppy piece of string than a kinetic chain.
Saturday is the end of my training week, a time to look both
backwards and forwards. This weeks statistics: five days of mobility
training, three core training sessions,two days strength training,
two days on the climbing wall, 23 kilometres paddling (seems a bit
slack but one was a hard session), 42 kilometres on foot with 2000
metres of gain, half of which was off-trail, and two nights sleeping
out.
