Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Best Week of the Year (so far ...)

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Best Week of the Year (so far ...)

Sat on the turbo watching Ireland v France this afternoon (excellent game by the way!), getting off at half time for some core work, then back on for the 2nd half. Clocked up 96 minutes and 47.9km in the process.

Total training this week was 9 hours 10 minutes, my biggest week of the year so far (and by some margin); I need to maintain this as a minimum now. Swimming is back on the agenda this week; I will spend a few sessions easing back in to it and then begin increasing the distance. I'm not interested in working on speed, just managing the distance comfortably, so efficiency is all important.

Next weekend there is no 6-Nations rugby on TV so I guess I will have to hit the road. Lets hope the weather's kind.
