chappers' IMAZ training log

[chappers]

Scheduled recovery week (and paternity leave.. all in the timing ).. starting with a coffee and cake with the little un while mum gets a well earned pampering at the hairdressers

May spin the legs for an hour later after yesterday's race

You mean coffee and cake count as training??? I've been massively underreporting mine in that case. Do chocolate digestives count too?

[Ewan]

I just had a sort of jam filled danish, and am about to embark upon a slice of Vanilla and Rooibos flavoured cake.

All before lunchtime too

WHAT?? someone ate the last of the vanilla/rooibos cake. I'm going to have to wait until after my run until I get to eat my Kangaroo bolognese.

Pah, you haven't felt pain unless youve gone for the third dessert.. no commitment

Recovery brick: easy 1hr turbo to sufferfest angels at max 78% hr, 40min run (newtons), easy pace

Cake: 1 chocolate brownie + half of mrs c's

Cake reduction starts here, time to get serious

[Jack Hughes]

Surely you can keep the cake constant while upping the volume of training. That will be equivalent to reducing cake input.

I had a slice of cheesecake at wagamama yesterday.

I always say I'm going to reduce cake intake, it never happens. I eat healthily generally, but have a very sweet tooth. I've tried substituting a big bowl of sweet cereal but sometimes cake or ice cream is the only thing that hits the spot

the brownies at lunch gave me horrible heartburn on the run.. mortons in the left foot combined with heartburn... it wasn't a pleasurable run

mmmm... cheesecake

[chappers]

am: 3km OWS. Easy pace, done in 55mins (including almost drowning when I got caught up in weeds)
pm: 1hr run, easy paced (7min/mile), Z3M. can still feel Sunday's race in my legs. done in Newtons, mortons playing up in left foot but calmed down after 4 miles.

Quality turbo session: 2hr20mins Angels followed by Local Hero at race pace. Cipollini can kiss my a$$
