😮 Wow! Where has the last 2 months go? I guess the Vlog has taken all my time. That was one of the main reasons for creating the Vlog - to stop me working late and getting stressed. It’s certainly done that. But I don’t want to stop this Blog either. It’s been going for so long, it would be a real shame to cease blogging now ✊. So let’s recap on the last 2 months.
The strength and conditioning has been the priority, as planned. My target remains the British Standard Distance Duathlon on 24 March 24. Still maintaining the S&C, I returned to the track to raise the run intensity and bring in sweetspot sessions for the bike.
The track sessions have been enjoyable, even with a couple of icy evenings to contend with. As we get towards the end of December I’ve just completed a track session that indicated some decent run form: a pyramid session of 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400. I averaged 3:28 per k across the session, with the 1600 at 5:42. Pretty chuffed with this session. But have I suddenly found my race form too early? I’m thinking of some reverse periodisation sessions by bringing in some longer endurance steady runs. But keep building the sweetspot bike sessions.
Right, it’s late and I need my Zzzzzzzzs. I’ll update further to document all the YouTube channel stuff and also a recent Podcast I was lucky enough to be a guest on. The AMP Podcast specialises in chats with Age Group multisport folks - aspiring or experienced , it’s not elitist. More to come on this
See you all 🙃 later. . . .
