Thursday lunchtime swim

Back to cycling to work today, nice easy bike in the sunshine.
And so back in the pool for a long swim. 40 minutes. I needed it. Need to do this regular now, and make sure I have the swim endurance I need for 17th June. The next 4 weeks will be hard training, followed by 2 weeks of tapering. I am now following Tom Holland's 12-week training for Half-Ironman Performance goal. Obviously I'm picking it up with 6 weeks to go, which means 4 weeks in peak phase and 2 week taper.
Long bikes, taking in plenty of hills as interval training, as the bike course for Half Ironman is very hilly. Same for the running, more interval training, and longer runs. 2 long runs and one short a week. 3 x 45 minutes swim sessions and a short open water swim session. 3 mid-length bike sessions, and 1 long bike and run(brick). Must practice transition, and some swim to bikes.
4 weeks of focussed effort, but not overdoing it, to remain injury-free.
