6th week to frankfurt

This week I have not been able to train as much as I wanted but the quality of the sessions was fairly good. I finished the week with some loaded legs that I hope to have them unloaded by the beginning of the next weeks.

My power meter is not working fine yet but I am working to get it fix, I would like to have it fixed by the next bike test so I will need to give it a push because it is very important for me.

On Tuesday I was not able to finish my bike session because I had a flat tire on the trainer. It is the first time that I popped an inner tube. There was one other time that I popped the outer tire but the inner tube? That was the first time and I had to stop the session. Also, because of the rain I had to run on the treadmill, it was very boring to run for 90mins in the same place, I hope I don’t have to do it many more times, the pace was lower than normal but it was hard to keep going, I had to pull some mental strength and it was not easy having finished a marathon not that long ago but it had actually helped me.

On Wednesday I was not able to do my recovery session on the bike because I had a dinner the night before and it was impossible. I had not been able to sleep enough and skipping that session was not too bad as I was feeling a little bit of discomfort on my right hamstrings, probably I had not completely recover well from the marathon.

Finally on Friday’s session I decided to do some sets of steps instead of running series, so I went to one of the places that I know with more steps and I went up and down 6 times, I tried to count ones how many steps there were and I counted around 160 and I have to say that it was around because I know I had lost count.

On Saturday I went for the long ride of the week, at first I was not feeling very fast, my legs were still stiff from the day before but then after one hour I started to feel better and actually the tail wind also helped. The average pace was fairly good and near the wanted pace at this time of the season, I was feeling much stronger that the week before and I hope I will keep seeing the progress.

There have been things that I did not like this week and there have been others in which I wish I could have taken part. Seeing some important things happen before your eyes and not being able to grab them is not much fun but there was nothing that I could do at that moment, all I can do is to work to reach those goals, although I will need some help, time and focus.
