Training - What Training?!

Told by the same people that reckon Yorkshire is the best place in the UK :slightly_smiling_face:

In 2014, Yorkshire was voted the 3rd best holiday region in the world

Yup. Beaten by somewhere in Oz and India.

Yorkshire has toilets and a lack of spiders.
So obviously it wins overall.

Managed to get out and do my first run in a few months this morning. Tried to take it very easy but probably still went too hard. 4.5miles / 9:37min/mile / 116bpm. I suspect I will need another couple of weeks with easy runs before my legs feel fine afterwards.

Other training - did a ramp test on Saturday 308W. Probably could have got a bit further if it wasnā€™t so hot and I used a fan but very pleased with that. And a couple more easy hour rides on Zwift.

Iā€™m not entirely sure how Iā€™m going to add running in at the same time as trying to improve my cycling but I have a run race in 2 months so probably ought to do some running.

Weā€™d never heard of it until it turns out we didnā€™t have one. (we blamed the Kiwis instantly, of course :+1: :smile: )

I went out for 20km on the gravel bike (about 13km of it is totally off road) and dodged the storm.

Could see it from The Edge.
Looked class.

I love 20% cobbled climbs.
In 28Ā°.
With sweat blinding me.
And my hands slipping off my bars.

So much so, that I turned round and did it again :joy:

Woodbrook Road and Swiss Hill :heart_eyes:

Although, I Think I did so much climbing, I ended
Up in Peru :peru::llama:

Managed to get out for 30 mins between the thunder and lightning but whilst the rain pelted down.

Not sure Iā€™ve ever ran in such warm rain, even abroad.

Havenā€™t done anything for 3 days now. But have been super busy with a camping weekend. Today I used my lunch slot (as desperately needed to catch up on sleep) to go for a long walk with Mrs GB instead. Was very humid, so glad of it. Too many jobs etc around the house and garden so didnā€™t push it this eve.

Gonna get up mega early and run before work tomorrow instead. Hopefully a sea swim on Wed or Thurs then.

3 more days of mentalness before it breaks. But I expect it will be insufferably humid still afterwards

No wind is great though for the swimming :man_swimming:
