A week ago Saturday, it was pretty warm (for Iowa in the Winter), and I used the opportunity for a Big Day. 30 minute swim, 3-hour trainer rides with my friends at the YMCA, and then an hour run with a reverse split in the 8:30/mi range. Not too bad. Felt great, if tired, by the end.
Only a couple days days later did my quads let me know that this workout took a fair amount out of me. It was timed to be right before my recovery week, so I'm better by now, but that kind of feeling was a good reminder how I have to be careful in slowly cranking things up.
Yesterday was my long day of the recovery week. Mellowed out. 30 min swim, 2.5 hour ride, and 30 minutes on a treadmill, instead of outside. Still feel it a bit, but will be ready to go again next week.
