Week of 26th June - pre camp taper + travel
Saturday, July 1, 2017 at 12:08AM 
MONDAY
Session Details: Run ~80mins with 6-8x200 fast smooth running plus 6-8x100 strides
Comments: Today is the start of the easing off into the camp to start at the weekend. It’s a different sort of taper with me easing off into the camp, pumping up the volume in the first few days off the camp then tapering into Roth.
No drama’s today, felt fine but glad to not be doing tough intervals.

TUESDAY
Session Details: SWIM 100 warm up, 3.8km straight ~IM race effort, 100 loosen
Comments: After the first 1km dragging on a bit the rest of the swim seemed to go smoothly. I started a little quickly like a race then settled into 1:28’s throughout. My effort was probably a touch above IM race effort. I had heavy arms for some reason so was pleased I had OK pace.

Comments: Just a recover ride today. Low watts just aiming to keep legs turning over with some active recovery.

WEDNESDAY – TRAVEL DAY
CORE – 30mins then onto the bike
Session Details: BIKE 50mins with 5x2mins FTP

THURSDAY – IN GERMANY
Session Details: Easy 10km run with Bevan
Comments: I was desperate to get out and do something so as soon as we arrived at the hotel we went straight back out the door for a run. We got a bit lost and were not running hard but I felt very good.

Session Details: 2km open water swim
Comments: A great lake not far from the hotel. After ~600m easy I alternated 200 mod hard / 200 easy then a few sprints at the end.

I did plan to ride today but delays with athletes arriving and a longer trip from Munich to Hilpoltstein meant bike was not put together until 6pm.
Tomorrow is a lap of the Roth course – looking forward to it.
