Double Workout

Today I got in an hour run in the morning and hit the bike for an hour after work. My run was good. I started at a slow pace and built up to normal pace the last 15. I kept a steady HR throughout the run and just focused on form. Legs felt good even though my legs have been getting somewhat abused this week. Need to take my new running shoes back, they are chaffing hard on my toes and I need to get some flats for racing. I also noticed I was having some stomach issues after my run. It could be lingering affects from my bout of food poisoning while on my honeymoon. I also think I need to be more aware of my fluid intake now that the heat is up.

The hour bike after work was a little harder than most. It's my first Wednesday where I've had to do a long run and bike. After the first climb I got loose and settled into a good cadence. I noticed I was moving along much quicker than I have at this time in previous training weeks, so that was good. HR was consistently in the mid 140s and hit the 160s on tough climbs.

No rest leading up to this Sunday's rest. I get a day off after. Swim and brick tomorrow.

Summary:

Run: 1 hour

Avg HR: 142

Bike: 1:15

Avg HR: 140
