Day 21 - No Motivation for the Turbo

Started off with swim in Belvedere College. Got in a total of 1,850m. In the second fastest lane and we were going fast, doing about 1min 35 secs per 100m (with a draft of course). Found it difficult at start but as the session went on I became much more comfortable with the speed the guys were going at. Overall, happy with 45 mins session.
Did a fartlek run at lunchtime. Avg HR for the session was 144bpm. The workout was:
10 mins warm up
3*4 mins at 75-80% Max HR with 1min rest
4 mins steady at 80% Max HR with 1 min rest
10 mins at HR between 150 and 170 - managed to average 154 for these 10 mins
4 mins steady at 80% Max Hr with 1 mins rest
5 mins cool down
Total time for the run session was 50 mins. Found it difficult to get HR near 170 for the hard 10 min part of interval. Overall happy with workout.
Had planned to do a 45 min turbo session in the evening time but visitors to house, and a complete lack of motivation, stopped me from getting on the turbo. NEED TO DO MORE BIKING!!!!!
Overall Training Time: 1hrs 35 mins
