The more miserable the better - Arc here he comes ![]()
11.2 km with the dog in the rain.
Oska is really a fair weather dog - had to drag him off the couch to get out
Itās been months since I did any regular training and so little running.
Determined to get back at it
30 minute spin class. Sweating out chocolate.
30km slog across the West Mendips. Muddy and windy AF, very tired now.
Top of Crooks Peak with Brent Knoll in the background.
We went through a village called Loxton but came out in the middle of it, so didnāt see any signs but did see this in the churchyard.
Big training day for me today. 112 miles on Zwift using a TT bike so no drafting. Nutrition went well and averaged a shade under 200W for 5h13m.
Quick shower and out in the wind for a marathon. Didnāt quite nail the nutrition and slowed quite a bit to drag myself round in 5h5m. 10h30m total
Learnt a lot and hope to test my recovery. Havenāt done much running recently so know i need to put some work in but quite happy with myself for not quitting.

Crazy day!
And people say Iām mad !
Thatās quite impressive to be honest.
My wife has reminded me that I said Iād do the same tomorrow.
Not really feeling like it right now. Will see how I am in the morning.
2 x 10 hour days is the realm of 30 year old Ironman pros normally
The pubs are open lad.
Rest up, but whatever you do⦠enjoy!
Indeed. But since Iām doing 10 iron distances in 10 days next year I need a bit of prep.
From previous experience, what you do in the first 2 days pretty much dictates how youāll manage overall. But since Iāve not completed a triathlon in a decade I need a bit of a memory jog
Good luck
Couldnāt manage even close. 45 mins and I gave up. Had a blister on my backside where my cycle shorts had rubbed the day before which didnāt help but simply not yet mentally strong enough.
Definitely need some more back to back days to build the mental strength. Cycling power was still good so better not to break myself any further today. Wonāt be using those cycle shorts on a long ride again though

Nothing since Christmas Day Parkrun as I picked up a bug and had the squirts for a couple of days. 2023 can fecking do one, itās been a terrible year exercise wise
4 x 1.25km lumpy intervals this morning, resting 2 minutes.
Expecting a little quicker but havenāt ran intervals in months.
Will do a 30 minute spin class this evening.
My form score is sitting at 90%. Fresh as a daisy
Howās the injury healing?
