I think the thing that appeals is the abundance of nice courses up here. Remember a time up in Islay or some other places - on the way to Skye and thinking - that looks like a nice play to play a round of golf
Anyway I have a complete set of clubs, I can drive the ball quite well… but I need to learn everything else - like hitting it in the right direction lol
5 x 300m toys easy swim.
1:41/100m average.
Tired after the office day yesterday 
16.5km runch for me today. Mostly flat with one climb up the coast path at the end. Very humid and sticky apart from on the seafront, where a nice on shore breeze temporarily helped things.
Running feels like it’s improving now. Have averaged ~40km per week for the last 4 weeks, with an average climb of 16.73/km for the period. Aiming to push that up to about 60km this week if my die fall the way i want them to.
Not so much cycling, but it’s ticking along. I’ve pretty much put this 70.3 in Sept to the back of my mind as just a training day out now.
There are 5 of us from my running group of mates now confirmed to start the 110 in Oct. So that should be a good, social sufferfest.
Inspired by this, I did a tiny hill. And tried a tiny bit, too.
14km in 62mins.
4:28/km. HR maxed at 159, average of 144bpm 
Was that with the new shoes?
(I wasn’t trying on mine though 
)
No. I only ordered them this morning at 8am when they were released.
These were just some old Vape3s
Mostly easy training the past week, feeling my way back in (8h on the bike total). This week started running/ swim again with 2k swim last night, again mostly easy with some faster 25/50s at the back end of 100-200m reps. First swim in a month 
form ropey as you’d expect
1900m pull and paddles swim. Easy.
1:38/100m 
DAMN RAIN.
IN JULY 
All prepped for a 2hr outdoor ride.
Rain came. CBA.
30mins on Zwift instead.
Bonus hour planned tomorrow.
Extra hour tacked onto Sunday, too.
#BritishSummerEnduranceTest
Absolutely nothing. Work is draining everything from me right now.
Last run was Monday and I have a 100km race on Saturday. Taper taper taper 
Early morning run. It was a bit wet. 
Went on the treadmill at work.
Rain plus a very tight set of back muscles
Will double up later with a little set of hill reps on the dreadmill
Gym this morning.
Swim tonight.
2.5km swim this morning.
100, 200, 300, 400, 300, 200, 100 easy.
2 x 100m mod
4 x 50m mod
4 x 25m mod
2 x 200m cool down.
Then these bad boys arrived 
How are they prototypes if they’re on general sale? Was it a limited edition or something? I don’t follow the Nike train any more.
(tbh the next time, though it’ll likely be years away i buy super shoes, i think i’ll go over to Asics after my immediate love affair with the NovaBlasts.)
No idea
I’ve got a pair of ASICS MetaSpeed Sky+, they’re good. But not as fast. Weird insole, too. Ribbed. Which is properly irritating.
Not ‘for your pleasure’?
They have to be on general sale for Nike to let their athletes to use them in the Olympics. No competitive advantage, in theory anyone could get a pair and run in them.
I’m sure there is some rule on how many have to be made available, not sure if their is a fair price rule.
I think in theory, if you are willing to part with enough cash, you can buy a British Cycling track bike.
Yeah. They’re okay.
Easy 6.5km in 30mins.
Like £1k socks
