40.5

Broken air conditioning. Poor sleep following night shift. Maybe an easy run, followed by a cold shower would wake me up so I can be useful for the rest of the day. Stepping outside into a furnace made me rethink that idea. 40.5 degrees celcius is just too hot for that. I'll wait for it cool down later in the evening to get the most out of my limited energy levels today.

    You have to be kidding me! That's a hot heat. That's enough for me to not sleep well.

    I certainly hope your air conditioner gets fixed quickly.

    Hi Jason (waves)

    I can really sympathise with you, not having any air conditioning.

    Hubby works shifts and luckily we have evaporative cooling, so he just turns it on really low if it's a hot day and he sleeps really well (as well as one can anyway when people are making tons of noise outside!!)

Having covered the reasoning and rough plan of my training in a rather long-winded way, I thought it would be best to make things more practical. Instead of paragraphs of reasoning or justifications for what I am doing, I'll simply write down, what I plan to do. Racing No racing for the rest of the year. Just an attempt to get in a reasonable training load up until Christmas. Once into the new year I'll have a think about how my training is going, work out when my leave is likely to be and decide on what races I want to do. I still think starting out with getting my 10km time down before hitting the marathon again is the way I'll head. Template There is a template for my weekly (which is really a 7-9 day cycle) training. The order of each session will vary depending on work. family and other life commitments. So my VO2 runs will not always precede my long aerobic runs. I'll make a decision on the order from the perspective of only a few days, trying to make the most of ...

Service Outage

With moving house came dealings with utility companies. In particular, phone and internet. The short version is I am no longer dealing with Optus for a number of reasons and have gone with another provider. However, I have been, and will be without internet access at home for a while. This is the main reason for a lack of updates. The good news is life is closer to settled and I have been training. A bit of pain throughout my legs while sitting here is a good reminder of a good track session yesterday.

I'm really starting to get headaches if I'm without good coffee for too long. That's probably a cue to start rethinking my caffeine intake. With my first big race around the corner I'm probably going to have to cut down so I can actually get some performance benefits from my race day intake. I used to be a high responder to caffeine, but not lately. I've de veloped a tolerance which I think is progressing to a dependence. That said, I am writing this while drinking a long machiato.
