Today is 16 Oct 22. Time to review the purpose of this Blog - again! It is 2 years since the last review. πŸ€• 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

The Build Starts - 2024?

 Hello tumbleweed out there in retro Blog world 😡‍πŸ’«. It’s now nearly 3 weeks since I regrouped and accepted the fact that my race 2022 goals this season we’re just not going to happen. I’ve started the strength and conditioning work and reduced the cycling intensity. The running has reduced too, with just fast feet in the treadmill at the m moment, mixed in with the conditioning. I’m trying to git rid of the Achilles niggles! 

This new focus is quite enjoyable actually. The first few sessions made me realise how my lack of conditioning work may have impacted performance. I am woefully weak! I used to do a lot more strength work; so hopefully getting back to this type of training will make me more robust and slow the age related performance decline.  



I’m still on teeny weights and kettlebells at the moment.  Progression is slow - deliberately so cause I’m old! 

It was my 58th birthday in 2 Sep 22. The big 60 looms! I was fortunate to bag some more Le Col posh cycling gear:







Love these glasses. Expensive but quality
