Interesting, to say the least. Who said brick runs are no good?
I have done nothing but brick runs since february, before my accident and a trip to the hospital. All of my running has been on top of a bike workout. And all of it has been endurance. No fast running at all.
Still, my first track session today went really well. Hadn't lost much of a step. Well, I admit, I'm not such a great runner anyway, so there never was much fine-tuning in my stride.
It was also a great relief to find I can still run, because my self confidence has been quite low after the accident and the forced rest. In fact, I was worried. A collapsed lung isn't something to fool around with.
I had a similar experience last week, when I did the first wednesday's Pepen tempo, a 10K time trial. My time was very much ok, and it felt very comforting to find I can still ride a bike at about the same speed as before.
Swimming? Not so great. But I'm getting there, hopefully. I have been swimming, what, four or five times since the crash. Took a while before the pain in the ribs subsided.
Had a good two weeks of training with the Eastern holiday and a week of vacation on top of that. The weather was splendid, so I got a little volume on the bike.
The two weeks 18.4-1.5.2011:
Swimming: 2.15h/6.6km
Running:7.35h/86km

Total: 47.55 h
