I am up to my full swim distances now from my original pre-injury draft plan. I am about 10-15 secs/100m down on the pace from this time last year, but a lot of that is coming from careful turns and a still very careful kick.
I am going to count the aqua-jogging distances as straight run miles. That probably isn't a fair way to measure the distance, as the time and effort is significantly higher but it is simple.
I am not going to get on the turbo yet. I think I probably could manage something gentle, but the risk vs value is probably still not quite right. Also I have no idea what state my winter / turbo bike is in after 2 winter months in the garage and I don't even know if I can get into my cycling shoes over the still slightly swollen ankle. Maybe next week or the week after I will try a short exercise bike ride at the work gym and take it from there. I am in no huge rush to get on the bike for its own sake this year, but it will be a useful tool for rebuilding the lost muscles and aerobic fitness while minimising risk.
This week I add commute driving to each workday, so rather than getting 30 minutes each way of chilling in the car, or even having a nap while Mrs M acts as chauffeur, I have to pay attention and make my way through Aberdeen traffic twice a day. I expect that to slow me down a bit as it is a big addition of effort. I am still on reduced work days this week, but 6 hours plus driving both ways is still likely to lead to me dropping a couple of session through the week in favour of evening naps.
Targets - Run 0.3* miles, Bike 0 miles, Swim 3.0 miles.
*Including Aqua-jogging.
Stretching session x0, Core session x2, Weights session x2.
