Sleep

As my training sessions become more challenging I have been struggling to maintain the balancing of my wheel (see blog below).

For the last 6 weeks (at least) I have been busy giving all areas of my life 100% and this means that I usually get, around, 7 hours sleep a night.
My training programme is set up in a way that I have good recovery training sessions after harder sessions. What I am noticing, now, as my training sessions get harder, I need more sleep for my body to recover and for adaptation to take place.
I feel great for getting 8 to 8.5 hours sleep and will now need to get even more done in the day to enable me to have a good time in the evenings and get to bed early!
