Base week 2 did not go as per plan. Early on in the week I felt poorly and thought I was coming down with some flu and decided to go a little easy on the training. Thankfully it did not break out and I didn't get too sick but I did get my periods later on the week which came with some unusually painful cramps which affected my sleep, my energy and my overall will to do anything productive.
So while training did dip, it didn't flatline. I did manage a weekly mileage of 19.1K (instead of the intended 28K) and some other cross training activities however, every single activity was graded as "Strained" by my Garmin including a very mild 20 minute mobility session! I'm not sure if this is some glitch to be ignored or if I should take it seriously and reduce my training load. (I feel fine!) I have 1 more week of my "honeymoon phase" so I am going to stick to my original plan and play it by ear.
Heres to more green ticks for the coming week.
