We ALL make that mistake from time to time, I wonāt run for a week or so, it didnāt go, but it probably would if I ran / ran hard hard now.
Bike is ok, if anything feels better after each session. Be ok to race soon

Too much fucking backstroke.
Something like
300 fs
100 breast
400 of something
200 kick fins
2x66 fs rpe 5->10
8x33 IM singles
Then I think it was 6x100 IM type stuff
2x 33 fly 66 back
2x 33 back 66 breast
2x 33 breast 66 fs
(Everyone else getting a minute rest while I got nothing on the backstroke sets)
2x 133 paddle/pull

Day got away from me and my long ride turned into a long turbo that turned into an hour spinning in the evening.
Couldnāt catch a break as the rain hammered down and flooded my utility room. Had to jump off and sort that out - just 30 minutes in the end

Just the feeling of frustration when Iāve got something āplannedā and in my head it should happen but it doesnāt for reasons out of your control

Just went for a very easy 5km test run, 33 mins 
Calf seemed āokā but got the impression if I pushed it then I might be in trouble. Maybe some turbo and hiking on the weekend?

Not gonna lie the climbing stuff looks proper fun

My back hurts just looking at your saddle to stem ratio. I could never have it like that.

What do you mean?
Big drop?
Long reach?
I like a smaller frame and loads of seatpost, just makes the bike feel more nimble.
This is my winter bike, my summer bike is even more aggressive 
My gravel bike feels like a MTB in comparison, stack is massive on that!!!
Single speed is sat-up, for commuting safety

Big drop.
This is mine. I was never able to get comfortable in anything more aggressive. The geometry is very relaxed as well, plus the frame is huge

Hell!!!
Thatās practically level 
Where do you even get steerer tubes that long 
Iām aware youāre a giant of a man, too, so I suppose itās that?
Conor Dunneās bike looks okay, though?

Marked some time for a runch today. Been ANOTHER crap week training wise. Though was ill and off work on Tues.
This run however was the opposite to how my Tuesday started! HR was sky high from the off. Effort was up. Legs were sore, like iād run 100km this week, despite barely moving these past 3 days.
Clearly still suffering/fighting this mystery illness thatās hanging around. No idea whatās going on, but iāve not felt ārightā for almost 3 weeks now.
But did I spot the signs immediately and back off the pace to make sure I didnāt aggravate things and to give my body a chance to recover like a nice sensible trafleet? Of course not! I just suffered through it all, hoping Iād make some miraculous recovery half way through the run. Was trotting along the seafront at a steady pace for bloody 180bpm!!! I will likely pay for it as a result!
Smart guy me!
So iām gonna back it up with my (planned) longest ride since last July tomorrow morning! haha

Part of the problem is as the frames grow in stack, the reach also grows, although I have long arms, I have a short torso and long legs so I need a huge stack and a relatively smaller reach. With the reach too long having it any lower I just cant get comfortable, then I also have the problem of my thighs whacking my torso.
Was a nightmare when looking for a TT bike as there were only about 3 that had the right stack/reach dimensions.
