Shaun's Ironman Mission by Shaun

  ...and the week's training begins.

  Yesterday's rest day was glorious - I know I've said this before, but I really like going home on a Monday and staying on the sofa all night!

  This morning I was up early and at the gym for half six for a swim.  The main set being 3x125m + 20s rec, 2x175m + 30s rec, 3x 125m + 20s, with the total swim being 2400m.  I've definitely got to watch my form on the longer episodes as it suffered after a while.

  My left achilles is feeling a lot better since I changed my walking trainers.  It's not the one I had all the trouble with last year so I'm not worried about it, but as a precaution I'm holding off running until the Friday session.  So tonight, tomorrow and Thursday evenings all become spin sessions!  With two more pre-work swims to come I'll definitely be getting my money's worth out of the gym this week!
