Week 4 of training


Last week was a great cycling week! Did 200km in 5 days.

This weekend the teachers organised a time trail over a 40 km route. I did it in 1h53min. Our local Iron man did it in only 1h20min.
It served as a bit of a wake up call... I should focus a bit more and stop smelling the flowers along the way.

This morning I went as fast as I could over a very hilly 26km in 1h26min. Tomorrow I will do a longer route again, against a lower heart rate and then alternate the days with shorter harder and longer lower impact days.

I am now drinking a protein shake before and one an hour after cycling. This extra 48 g of protein makes a BIG difference. I not tired all the time anymore and it even lessens the cravings.

Next Monday we leave for our 3 week holiday to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. So I have to put all in this week!
