Rest week...well kind of!

On Sunday the kids activities at the Warwickshire were cancelled due to the snow so Claudia went to the gym and I jumped on the turbo trainer at home for a 1.5 hr cycle...very steady session.

Monday was a rest day, then Tuesday was back to running.  This week is designed as a rest week to allow the body a bit of recovery so the run was a mere 6miles around the docklands...a bit cold and a bit boring but a few miles around the streets.

On Wednesday I went to the gym at our office in Canary Wharf and did a little stepper session then went in to do a 45 min spin class.  The great thing about a spin class is the variety, which adds a bit of a change to the general long, slow paced training required for MDS.

Yesterday I was up early in Leamington and went for a run round Newbold, then through town and back home.  The run felt pretty tough, not sure if this was due to a lack of sleep or just because the body needed a bit of rest.

Today I popped onto the turbo trainer for a short 1.5hr session.  The first 30 mins was a steady session followed by 5 min high resistance (kind of like a hill climbing session) with a 5 min in between for a stead bit of restful cycling.  1 hour of this gave the legs a good bit of challenge with a little rest in between.

Tomorrow is back t the running and he to do a nice cross country session across to and round the Warwickshire...
