No rush

A bit more good training today, back on the Wahoo Kickr for a slightly more intense spin than the sessions I have been doing more recently. All part of gently easing back into training.

When you jump on an indoor trainer, you know it is a cold morning when you don't need a fan or other form of external cooling. I wasn't quite there this morning, in the end I turned the fan on after 20 minutes, but it was a close thing. Still pretty sure I could have done without the fan and would have been comfortable enough. Ahhh, the joys of winter.

This morning's trainer session was one of those that you do because you have work to do rather than because of the weather. Other than being just north of freezing I suspect the conditions outside would have been quite lovely. But as I have said here a few times before, the trainer is a great training tool, one which I like to try and use at least once a week regardless of weather. Nothing like the trainer to do a good honest session and maybe push a couple of boundaries. Although perhaps not this morning.

Since the focus this morning was about getting back into training, it was a session that deliberately stayed away from boundaries. There was certainly a bit more intensity like I mentioned before, but it was still pretty low key. Compared to the sessions that I was doing a week or so ago when I was getting over my cold, the power levels and heart rate were definitely a step closer to normal.

A session that may not be quite so low key will be swimming in the morning. Wednesday morning Swim Smooth. Dun, dun dunnnn... I haven't been to one of these killer sessions since Japan 70.3 many weeks ago. You know when you are heading into a session and you don't know how it will go, but you know it probably won't go well. That is tomorrow for me. Actually that is probably being overly negative, really I am not sure how the session will go. I certainly won't go in expecting miracles of myself. Once again, I will take the philosophy of easing my way back in.

Slowly slowly.
