Day thirteen: best forgotten; I failed to do anything more arduous than a lot of driving
Day fourteen: first swimming coaching session of the new year. I started these a year ago and have come a long way. Though I cannot swim as far with front crawl as with breast stroke, it have improved no end, as has my back stroke. I have also essayed butterfly and tumble-turns, though both of these are a long way from fluency. For the record, today's sessions consisted of:
- 100m front crawl
- 150m kicking, alternatively front and back
- Back crawl drill, involving swimming with one arm only: 100m
- 100mm back crawl
- Cool down
Day fifteen: a Sunday long run on a Sunday, out to Bo Peep and back. For the first couple of miles my legs were tired and it was an effort to make them move. The views out on the downs were glorious, though in the more exposed sections the wind blew chill and I was grateful for gloves.
Total this week: 20.64
Seven weeks to the Eastbourne half marathon
Thirteen weeks to the Brighton marathon
