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

2021 Race Goal 😀🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Finally, news from the London Duathlon that was postponed last April due to COVID-19. The new date is now 25 April 21. So I have a race goal! This is very motivational for me.



I have switched back to my 9-day week to ensure I take sufficient rest each week. I am focussing on strength foundation build until the end of Dec 20. Today was my first introduction of hills into my running. But no efforts yet; just technique with a high Z2 HR max. I have built my running back to a decent volume but no real efforts. My hips still ache after running, which is frustrating. But no pain. The rehab stretch and trigger point work continues!

To assist with the run development I managed to grab a bargain couple of NB run trainers. Firstly, a pair of NB Fuelcell Propel. These are cushioned trainers for long distance training. I also bagged a pair of NB Fuelcell Rebel, which are for swifter sessions and racing. New trainers and a goal! Nice one!

I consider myself to be very fortunate for so many reasons. My Zwift set up has been enhanced further with a new 24 inch curved screen. The curved screen really does bring a more immersive experience - I like it muchly. As we move into November and December there will be some dark cold time spent working hard here. 


 My next Blog will focus on the S&C and Kettlebell training I think - seeing as I wrecked my legs today . . . . .
