Training - What Training?!

He didn’t even wear them on the stage that he won!

Who won a stage?
Odd prize to give!

Not the ringing endorsement to sway me to £280 of shoe

They’re similar to VF3s. Maybe 5s/km quicker for an easy effort.

Normal shoes I’m 5:00/km at 140bpm.
VF3s about 4:40/km
These I was 4:35/km.

Obvs that’s from one run.
Loadsa variables.

Way easier to get on than VF3s.
Better for T2 :white_check_mark:

8.5 mile run :man_running: :dash:

Turned into speed efforts along the canal and on smooth road sections.

My form… stride pattern … gait … whatever you want to call it continues to feel smoother and smoother. I’m loving it - feel half my age out there.

Went for a run in the rain with my son. Feel about twice my age at present, gait is still way wrong , but got it done.

It really wasn’t pretty, but being able to do this at all was my A goal for the last 3 months. So I’ll take it.

Crappy parkrun. Wet. Cold. Tired.

Thought I’d be alright, nope!
Lungs were fine, legs didn’t want to play.

As soon as 7:40 passed and I wasn’t through 2km, I switched off.

4:10/km for a slightly long version, I’m sure those cones were slightly further up each hill. :face_with_hand_over_mouth::triumph:

Time to find some bottle cage bolts now, as I sheared one off earlier whilst removing them to clean the gunk and crud from sports juice.

Ciao :wave:

2 hr trail run with daughter to conclude her first week of training for London marathon 2025 - a very respectable 6 hrs 30 training for her this week

12.10 with 429m of vert

Her best time ever for that route

Also came across this hen party leading a group of alpacas - not something I thought I would ever see on a run

Go figure…

Just under an hour continuous OWS

About 1hr 40mins on the turbo as the weather is garbage

Forecast says rain at 11:00 tomorrow, so will be up early to get out.

Got two sh1t training days at other campuses this week, but the weather wants to ruin my plans of big commutes.

Turning up sweaty is very different to turning up soaked through with nowhere to shower

Sat in the car all day looking at the rain bursts.

She’s going to nail London if she keeps that level of commitment up for the next 9 months!

Woke up and I’m knackered :tired_face:
4-5 hour TT bike planned and CBA.
But I’ve made two expensive bottles of drink (STYRKR) and a protein shake for afterwards :joy:
