7.5mile easy run this morning. Need to build my running back up but this is good enough for now
I’ve now put a training plan together for next years Deca Iron which I think is mostly sustainable. Will be aiming for the 10x1 (1 a day) format as I think it is much easier to fit the training in for this. Will actually need to venture to the pool for the first time in a few years at some point
Got out for a nice few kms on the coast path this morning. Not quite sure how, but I don’t recall this section at all from when I did the Arc a few years ago, because it’s stunning! Must’ve just been head down, race mode! Admittedly it was Feb, so maybe a bit more miserable last time!
Decided to use a Zwift race as a 20min FTP test last night. Managed to hold 332W for 25min to up my FTP to 322W. Didn’t care that I was on the front most of the race so rolled in 20th place but I’m guessing it might have made it slightly harder further back.
Very pleased with the way my bike efforts are going currently.
Don’t look at the pace! Got properly lost twice (which is quite an achievement considering I was never more than 7km from where I grew up)! Had to hack through loads of brambles, the hills were muddy AF. I wondered why there weren’t any gormless grockles coming up Ebor out of Wookey Hole. Found out when I hit the bottom, completely flooded mud bath!
On the plus side, discovered a stream I didn’t know existed and apart from bits in Wells and Wookey Hole, I didn’t see another person all day. Bizarre!
Little 15 minute splash in the sea as the sun was going down. No goggles and baggy shorts, just a bit of fun.
Sea temp was lovely and the water almost milky to look at. Everyone says it drops quickly at Nice and yes, yes it does - less than two metres out and I couldn’t touch the bottom - very calm sea today though, loved it
