The downside is that I'm so tired. I keep dozing off. I'm currently sitting with my laptop trying to work but I've fallen asleep three or four times. Admittedly, I'm trying to write a paper on the lack of male teachers in primary education and I'm reading some very dry literature.
I know I need to start getting to bed a bit earlier. I'm not very good at that. I start my second phase of teaching practice in two weeks which is going to wipe me out.
My swimming lesson was really good today. We were doing a drill called catch-up. Its like a full stroke but you keep flatter in the water and touch your hands together outstretched after each stroke. Helps with gliding, being outstretched, being more streamlined and getting into a rhythm. I really enjoyed it and felt my confidence rise a little. Got to decide what to do tomorrow; either a long run (10 miles) or a long cycle (2-3 hours). I'm tempted to cycle as I need to dust the bike down and get out there especially if the weather is ok.
I have been finding this too, and you're busier than me. Are you still on a calorie deficit? Maybe get a few more carbs in?
ReplyDeleteYou might be right. I had two big jacket potatoes and beans on Saturday and took a recovery drink after today's run.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it. Since i've started commuting everyday by bike I've had to completely stop running. I just couldn't cope with doing all three.
ReplyDeleteMoney is a big motivation. Having paid the £340 ironman entry fee push all the other cash I've shelled out, I can't afford not to do all three.
