Training Plan - Week 4 - Jan 22 to 28

I have a medical on Monday to clear me to go back in to the office. And I have a trip to the fracture clinic on Wednesday.

I expect to get official clearance to go back to work, probably on a part-time basis for a couple of weeks. Sitting at a desk for a few hours a day is going to slow the recovery but at least save me from the boredom and frustration of sitting at home. Commuting is actually the problematic part. While I can drive on quiet open roads, rush hour traffic is a different matter and I don't expect either medic to officially clear me to drive yet. Running and bike commutes are still at least a month away. That leaves the train, but the distance of hobbling at either end makes it impractical. And as a last resort, using Mrs M as a taxi service when she isn't busy, or paying #60/day in actual taxis.

After Wednesday I intend to at least get back in the pool to start my rehab. Barring a direct instruction, and a good explanation, from the Consultant I will be back in the pool from Thursday evening. I plan to do a bit of swimming and some aqua-jogging and take it from there. I may also get a bit of rehab work to do from the physio. 

I should also be taking the weights and core sessions properly from now so I have decided to add the little Targets section at the bottom with some basic targets for the week. I have also used these numbers and started building a revised plan for the year which I will hopefully be able to get started on soon. 


Targets - Run 0 miles, Bike 0 miles, Swim 0.6 miles.
Stretching session x1, Core session x2, Weights session x2.
Aqua-jogging x some.
Possibly some physio prescribed rehab exercises.
