    a problem of base?

    So today marks day #7 that I’ve trained in a row, I’ve never been able to go so long without a rest day. See you when I get there.

    I did
    Fri – run 7K to work in the morning
    Sat – swim 2K in the morning, bike 45K hilly in the afternoon
    Sun –run 7K (felt bad, must have been the biking)
    Mon – swim 2K
    Tue – run 7 K (felt better than ever)
    Wed – swim 2K open water
    Thu – bike 40K hilly
    Fri – run 7k to work (bit hard after the hard biking)

    In the past months I would be sooo tired after 3-4 days of training. Mostly, long rides on weekends would wear me out.
    I can do 120 k+ no prob but I need a lot of recovery after that. In particular, I couldn’t bring myself to go to Monday night swim practice with the club, where we do over 3K every time.
    Not enough base? or is the looming race just motivation enough to make me go out & train?

    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
