After missing that long run, I’m still feeling terrible. I had a big run monday and a big swim Wednesday. I missed a run thursday because I had a bad headache and it was raining.

my impression is that once I lost momentum with that missed run, I continue to have decent work, but I struggle to get back to perfect momentum

A few factors are in play here. Weather has been atrocious which contributed to me missing a run, twice. and I had a mysterious headache Thursday morning out of the blue. My HRV is still down and I starting to feel overwhelmed.

A couple of things are going my way: Finally got the bike. So I’m going to incorporate that into training. No more missed bike sessions. Feeling really good about that. that alone should increase my training volume which will make me feel good.

My plan is this

3x Swim as usual 3h

3x Run at hard (fast or hills) + 45m-1h + 1h30 4h

3x Bike. 2hard + 1h. (long ride is Sunday morning) 3

3h swim

3h run

2h cycle

1 lift = 9h until

Now that I have written down the plan, looked over the schedule, remembered the big picture (the fact that there’s one more month till the 6-month main training block)
