Resting doesn't come easy

This is the second day of rest before I start my recovery week and although my legs are appreciating the break, my head isn't!  I've already been onto my coach asking about this weeks activities as I need to know what I'm doing - sitting around isn't easy.
So tomorrow I will be swimming & stretching, Wednesday an hour and a half on the bike with 6 hill climbs followed by a 30 minute run off the bike and a gym session, Thursday a swim session including 20 x 100m timed laps plus stretching, a 50 minute run and core session on Friday and 1 hr 15 min including 2 x 10 time trial on the bike a 5k run and stretching on Saturday.  There you have it, A RECOVERY WEEK!
Fantastic can't wait, bring it on.  After that we only have a few more intense weeks before we start to reduce the training in the run up to the event.  I know I will start to feel stronger and have more energy as the event approaches which is exactly where you want to be.  But none of this would be possible without a plan and a cause.  Thanks for supporting me and Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres (www.justgiving.com/Derek-Stewart0) - if you've been touched by cancer you'll understand how important they are in helping the patient and their family.
