And it gets even colder …

If last week’s theme was “cold”, this past week is better described as “flash-frozen”. Running at -16°C is doable in a way, but not really fun. That goes even more so for cycling in double-digit negative temperatures.

What was on the plan?

  • Monday: an easy run in the morning, a short technique bike session in the evening
  • Tuesday: 1h run with intervals, an easy swim session in the evening
  • Wednesday: 2h aerobic cycling session
  • Thursday: TRX and a correspondingly bad swim session in the evening
  • Friday: long run, 1h 50min
  • Saturday: easy run and a subsequent aerobic swim session
  • Sunday: 4h on the bike, stacking base miles
