But two times a week in the pool. ~1hour/3500 on tuesday and ~35min/~2000m on sundays. Inbetween some indoor cycling on my kettler ergometer with kettler world tour – so i can race (get beaten) by som real people on sone “real” rides (Twice a week ~1hour rides each time) I’ve also just gotten a kettler ergometer cross trainer so will add that to. The weather outside is just to miserable to outdoor training (dark, wet and just above freezing)
I live in the south, so I finally get to bust the tights out for some cold morning runs this week.
First run since completing my first ultra marathon and birth of first child. Really tired so probably just a 5k park run on Saturday morning!
