Hindered training

Been a tough couple of weeks with pulled calf muscle so running out of the question but an easy 2m 2 days ago and steady 40mins this morning and all seems well. Hit the pool this week but need a few more sessions over the next fortnight so I am ready for the Oswestry sprint tri - getting a little anxious if I am being honest!

Where the hell have you been?

That's what some may wonder as I have been up hill and down dale. Key points were a 21min 3.1m road race with tight turns and undulating start. Finished 4th out of 300 in a lung busting 1.25m sprint in 8.05min out in Kentucky and happy with breaking 47min tonight for a 6.5m flat run. Approx 5wks now till my 1st triathlon. More regular updates will be coming from now on

What's the limit?

Very mixed training this last week with fast bike session over 25mile, strength training on gym and intense cardio and finished the week with 25miler on mountain bike carrying Emily on the back - at 30mths old she is a bloody lump on any incline!

What's the limit on pinot grigio the night before a 3mile road race- one or two bottles?!

Fantastic simple educational video for everyone

Check out this great video on YouTube where Steve Leonard the celebrity vet explains how important selenium is to our health:

Plan your route!

Mixing the training up quite a bit of late and thought a decent 8miler would be in order so picked up the canal and ended up leaving at a bridge near BNFL and unsure whether to turn right or left! Ended up a muddy 10miler. Good 3m hike yesterday with daughter on my shoulders and finished the day with 20m ride. Did another 20 today but on mountain bike with daughter in the child seat and must of sweat 10litres - way over wrapped (me not Emily that is!)

Hilly Bude in the sun...run

Went out for a gentle 30mins run that turned into part off road and steep hilly blast as the sun was setting in Bude. Great view from hotel on cliff top. 4th early morning swim session in as many weeks last thurs is starting to settle me back into the pool. Speed still a long way off but at least can keep going now without my lungs collapsing!!

1st bric session

If you are training for a triathlon and haven't done one of these yet, you'd better start. Although its been a while since my last bike ride I did 16m ave 17.8mph and then straight into a 3m run in 18m. The run was horrible but assuming it has burnt off some of the numerous hot x buns eaten this weekend!
