The coronavirus chaos continues. I have still managed to get out and use my once-a-day exercise allowance to run. Keeping up my streak and keeping my fitness. I even cranked up the run miles to account for the loss of my second (and third) sessions and managed some fast runs as well. That meant that last week I ran over 40 miles for the first time since April 2011 and this week I did my longest run week ever. I am also managing to do those runs at very good pace. I managed a 9-mile run at 8:01 per mile. I have managed two 10k's at 7:22 and 7:07 pace in the middle of those heavy weeks.
But pools have been closed, and I don't fancy a cold open water swim with no safety cover, so I haven't swum a single stroke. And since I am limited to just going out once a day I have had to pretty much abandon the bike. I could have and should have spent more time on the turbo, but I decided that there was more value in doing all those sessions I have been skipping, than there was in pissing off the neighbours with turbo noise.
On that note I have done at least one of core, weights, or yoga at least every second evening.
My plan was to come out of a volume-based Q1 in to a faster Q2, but that plan is gone. I am going to keep the target numbers that were in it, just because I don't have any better plan yet. Maybe once the crisis is over I can start to think of something more sensible.
