After what was supposed to be a recovery week training wise, it was back to it today with some hellish hill reps.<\/p>\n

Not that the preceding week was exactly restful thanks to lots and lots of work to do, both website design work<\/a> and working at the University, which meant that in order to fit it all in I was up around 4:30am most days in order to get the household chores done get some training in and get to work. Evenings were taken up with yet more chores,\u00a0birthday party dinners for Morgan, walking with the Scouts and of course more training. Saturday, my rest day was spent gardening for the first time in ages. There’s loads to do out there though so I had to make a start. Not a huge amount of recovery going on there, but the training load was slightly less than the week before.<\/p>\n

This morning’s session was two lots of 4x 2 minute hill reps, so I picked a steep hill and went for it. Muscles were burning before long, but I stuck with it and managed all 8 reps in total and all at a decent pace (for such a hill) as well.<\/p>\n
