July is a busy month for triathlon races: RAF Sprint Champs, Inter-Services and Trentham Half Ironman. Having lots of races can make you feel as though you are not training, as you get sucked into the race/recover/ease up for the next race cycle! So, straight after Dambuster it was back to full on training:
Sunday: 45 min EZ turbo spin.
Monday: AM 40 min spin to pool. 30 mins EZ swim. 30 mins spin home. PM 1 hour steady turbo.
Tuesday: AM 1 hour EZ spin on turbo. PM 13.2 miles steady run.
Wednesday: AM 1 hour pool session hard with main set 7 x 200m increasing effort. PM Ride 10 miles to local 10 mile TT. Blast 10 miles TT then ride hard back home for a good 30 mile session.
Thursday: Mini recovery tri of 600m swim, 12 mile bike, 3 mile run.
Tomorrow is a tasty brick session and a long slow swim. The weekend will be filled with a long bike and an open water swim session at Cambridge. Next week will be another big week, including a 25 mile TT on the bike and a long run increased to 15 miles. There you go! All the top secret training methods out in the open! Oh, and I also want to increase my 2 x 20 min turbo lactate threshold session to 3 x 20 mins. Not sure how that fits in……mind you, a 25 mile TT is probably the very same session!
Happy training bloggers!

Today is 16 Oct 22. Time to review the purpose of this Blog - again! It is 2 years since the last review. 🤕 2022 was shaping up well and I was on track for a decent middle distance Duathlon race. Then COVID hit me! I tried to salvage the race season but never felt strong or healthy. Looking to 2023 now and focussing on being healthy and some sprint Duathlon racing mixed with some bike TT fun on the Canyon CF

Strewth mate, do you ever rest? Seriously, when do you do the recovery part of the training cycle?
The 3 x 20 min session should be done at 95% of FTP so a 25 mile TT will be harder; certainly the last few miles will see you seriously into the red, especially if we are anywhere near each other on the course!
Today was the rest buddy!
Rest, means, rest, ie NOTHING! I didn't notice nothing on that list! I've had a big week too, feeling really mean and lean now, seem to have dropped another half kg without meaning too, so pizza tonight :-). Day of tomorrow then 3 hour ride Sunday with 2 at IM race pace, that's going to hurt a bit.
2 hours at IM race pace? Sounds like an easy day to me!
It'll hurt because I've already racked up 16 hours this week quite a bit of that was either race pace or threshold, I'm hardcore now!
Did a 3 hour turbo on the single speed yesterday evening. The only wqay I could get a long ride in - is that hardcore?
