try.
So this calf niggle seems to have dragged on for well over a month now. I thought that it had recovered but after 1k of a run off the bike it pulled again. After an injury free winter and a half decent running base accrued I am somewhat frustrated. The second Darley duathlon is getting closer and I'm now doubting that I will make the start line. This morning I did manage to complete a full set of run drills. I need to take the running very gently now to avoid a relapse.
I am getting more quality bike sessions completed, helped by the better weather. Yesterday I felt it was time for some longer sweetspot work. So it was back to my TT stomping ground between Denstone and Uttoxeter to ride an hour at sweetspot. I maintained an NP of 235W. Slightly higher power than aimed for but a good session nonetheless. With the ride there and back it ended up as a 40+ mile session average speed over 20mph. Now I need to get some TTs in to check the form with a number on my back - always makes a difference! The Tean club 10 mile TT series should be under way. I did a couple if these last year when I was virtually doing no training and struggled to get under 25 min. With a pb of 22:41 I would be happy with alow 24 min or, with good conditions, a 23+ clocking. Stand by for the next update.
