OK, so I'm a little late for last weeks summary.
A even mix of good and bad... but nothing disasterous.
THE GOOD:
I had a solid string of 180+ TSS days and some solid bike rides. Rocked a 16 miles long run where i sailed a 1/2 marathon in 1:28 in zone 2. I touched into zone 3 a few times but ran about 90% of it in zone 2.
THE BAD:
In hindsight, given my frequency of higher intensity runs the last 10 days, that was a BAD, bad idea. Too hard, too fast, probably better to run it just at IM pace with a few pick-ups maybe every other mile or so. The result - a sore hamstring and sore achillies.
Next on Thursday a sinus infection popped up again. Then the icing on the cake on Friday was GI Issues and my sinus infection hitting harder. I canned my training that day, called in sick and did a lot of sleeping. I was still pretty weak all weekend, but salvaged a couple bikes and run efforts. Short of my targets, but at least still going in the positive direction.
I've also decided ot drop the strength training a little early and do some plyometrics and drills after short recovery runs.
Now the fun really begins. My 2nd longest training week of the 1st 1/2 of my season. 21 hours planned including 200+ miles on the bike. Looks like Sunday will be rideable, so I'll be outdoors for sure or possibly split the ride and do a ride outside, then a 2nd ride that evening.
UPDATE:
MY hamstring and achillies seem to be doing alright and getting slightly better. They actually don't bother me running, more walking. The achillies bothers me some cycling, but not painful.
