Day 5
Didn't get to do my cycling session on Thursday but plan to do a 29 mile group ride on Saturday instead. Ran 1.9 miles quite hard (for me) at lunchtime and clocked a time of 20:31 (10:43/mi pace). Running is easily my worst discipline. Even running that pace my legs ached (mostly around my hips). I know I'll get faster and it will get easier on my joints the more weight I lose.
Day 6
Theoretically, Saturday is my rest day but having missed cycling on Thursday I joined the Richardson Bike Mart Tour de Plano group ride. 29 miles at 16+mph but the leader (Coach Sam) kept the pace up at 18-21mph most of the way. I took my turn at the front of the pack for around 8 miles of the ride.
Day 7
I find Sundays a difficult day to train just because of the stuff we do as a family. I didn't go swimming but went to bed early and set my alarm an hour earlier and resolved to go Monday morning.
Day 8
Got up early and completed my 1000yds swim.
Weigh-in after one week on Dukan Diet Attack Phase: 226.4lbs (weight loss 6.6lbs). Because of the need to drop my weight rapidly if I'm going to get anywhere near my target race weight of sub-200lb I'm doing the maximum 10 day on the Attack phase. I expect another couple of pounds by Thursday and then need to lose at least 2lb per week for the next 14 weeks which will all be done on the Cruise Phase of Dukan.
