House loading /unloading

This was about as hard as a ironman. I was about to say half but it was 8am to 3am without stopping, and a lot of lifting. My back is not happy.

Busy day - no time to train - boo

Met with teachers at George's new school to arrange settling in etc,
Booked Will in at nursery
Drove down to London to pick up belongings for move. I've never driven a "lorry" before - very exciting.
It's all go.

Rest day

Had planned to do a turbo in the evening but the day slipped away.

Waiting in the house for the BT engineer - I had a slot booked between 8-1 and he turned up at 12.59! So I went to work and said drill the hole where you think best.

Evening spent talking about painting and carpets!

Did do some rolling of the legs.

More of a rest day today

Gym
Quick whizz round. Usual shoulder exercises, some balance work - increasing mobility in right ankle

Swim
1km drill

Turbo

6 x 5min x 250W x 80rpm on 3min recovery (125W)

Building back to where I left off before my cold. It'll be a few more weeks till i'm back at 2x20minx250W which is a good baseline.

Working with my asymmetries - at least I know that it's mainly the right hip. My power split between the legs drifts to 49% left leg 51% right leg so I worked hard to keep it 50:50 may be all these years leading with the right may have played a part.

Lots of trips to stare into fridge afterwards (no treats in there!) - reminds me of school holidays.

Gym

General exercises - working on "setting the shoulder" this involves the lat pull down machine and keeping the arms straight - just moving the shoulder blades.

Some ankle mobility work on the balance disc - my multiple childhood ankle sprains and reduced flexibility there may be contributing to the hip.

Energy and enthusiasm back at last

Swim

1.5 km drill

Turbo

5 x 5min x 250W x 85rpm on 3min recovery

First turbo in the new house. Chickened out of doing in the garage - bit too cold, but hope to migrate out there soon.

I've changed back to "speedplay" pedals - forgot it's like pedalling on ice cubes. Hope this will help with the hip.
