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 wasn’t so hot and I used a fan but very pleased with that. And a couple more easy hour rides on Zwift.

I’m not entirely sure how I’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.

We’d never heard of it until it turns out we didn’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 28°.
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 I’ve ever ran in such warm rain, even abroad.

Or an alpaca. Or a guanaco. I can’t tell the difference.

Haven’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 didn’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:
