Another good week of training… that makes 4 in a row. I still think I am about 6-8 weeks away from being back to normal…
Highlights of this week included me doing my first real “brick” workout. I said previously I did this already 3 days/week normally but this was my first hard one. On Saturday Cody and I did a fairly hilly ride up to the first Cypress lookout and then out along Marine Drive in West Van total riding time 2:20, afterwards we did a short 20 minute run which was an interesting experience. Normally I do the bike run after an easy 45-60 minute ride so it is fairly easy but this was entirely different my legs were a little fatigued so it felt awkward to run but after 5 minutes you get into running mode and it feels fine.
Thursday was a brutally hard interval workout it was the hilly 3k x 2k x 2k loops which left me beyond thrashed. I went into the workout feeling a little dehydrated and towards the end I was just cooked. I moved up another pace group but still have many more to go before I am back running with Joel and the gang. My times where 11:41, 7:08, 7:03.

You bet it’s different running after a hard bike! Good to hear you guys made it up to first lookout. It’s almost worth the view
