Back to training

Not as easy as it sounds, turns out a half ironman is quite taxing on your body....who'd of thought it. Had the usual Monday off the went out for a steady 90 minute run on Tuesday with all intentions of going to the pool after. That didn't happen, i had to go home and eat. I have been constantly hungry since i finished racing. Another downside, well i do enjoy food so we'll say thats an upside. Wednesday brought an hours swim session followed by an hours run, again steady just trying to aid recovery. Tonight is Thursday and im knackered. Active recovery is one thing but killing myself before i massive weekends training is another. Im thinking the bigger picture here....Need to look good for the Sportive photos don't i!!!!!!!!!
