This evening I went for a "maintanance" Physio session just to make sure my old body stays in peak condition whilst I ramp up the miles on the approach to the season!
I am glad I did as my Quadriceps were extremely tight and needed quite a bit of work on them to loosen them - a recipe for another injury if I am not careful!
After 45 minutes of pain I was done and feeling like I had run a marathon!
However, my physio said it was OK for me to still go swimming, so off I trot home for something light to eat before going to the Tri Club Swimming Session.
My legs really weren't in "kicking mood" and I was pleased that a few of the drills involved using a pool buoy which gave them a break!
However, after the drills came a speed session which didn't really happen for me but I pushed as hard as I could!
Altogether I swam 2200 metres (1.37 miles) so feeling quite good now, although legs are feeling exceptionally tired and heavy!
Hopefully they will be recovered by the morning and ready for a long run tomorrow evening!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
