Double session

The training schedule is picking up now so weekends become very busy to make the most of the daylight.  But due to family commitments I had an early start with a 7am run.  The knee feels fine but I am still taking precautions and not putting too much strain on it with running.
A hard turbo training session really got my heart rate up which is something my coach is trying to do.  I'll find out tomorrow the effect of the turbo training as I am out for a 50 mile cycle in the morning.  Turbo training doesn't help your bike handling skills as your bike is in a fixed position so you have to get out in the cold and experience the real thing.  So looking forward to some more hard work tomorrow but at least there will be some scenery and not 4 walls indoor plus some company as there is a small group of us going out.
The benefit of getting the training over early was a lovely lunch with my wife & 2 sons which is something we don't get time to do often enough.  My daughter was at a boy band concert so I'll catch up with her when she comes back, assuming she isn't too busy putting posters on her bedroom wall!
