Training - What Training?!

I’m in Somt from tomorrow but working a lot of it, will try to get some stuff in. Then we are at Puts from Aug10 so some SWCP running and hiking on the cards.
10 weeks isn’t it?

A YouTube channel my daughter watches is doing Leadville 100 this year, with 2 months training :joy:
He’s a long history of doing physical endurance events massively under prepared and being rescued by his long suffering wife …

… I said “I could do that!” My wife doubted me and said “there’s no way you could run 100 miles” …

… which I took to mean as a challenge :joy::joy::joy:

Bike or run?

He ran from Taunton. He’s not that mad.

Keep Greta happy and do the UK’s equivalent of Leadville… the West Highland Way race (90 miles) or one its halves.

I’ve my eye on a local hilly ultra which is 50k… just enough to qualify as an ultra so I can tick that box and never do it again :laughing:

Initially I thought you were talking about a bike ride. Madness.

Do the one at Glentress, 50k and a fair bit on tarmac, sub 5 hours fairly easy

Feeling good other than odd back/ shoulder thing which is lingering enough to be a nuisance

July 24

Overall
Just one of those months where ‘stuff’ fills up the spare time available to do any training. :roll_eyes:
Still, I will try to keep this update a ‘Glass Half Full’ one.

Swim – 0m

Bike – 423km
Whilst this was poor by comparison to most of 2024, it is still my 12th biggest month since 2015.
And 4,611km YTD is already bigger than my annual totals from 2009-2013 & 2015-2022.

Run - 75km
Whilst less than May & June, this still brings up my biggest three month total in years. :sunglasses:
Helping to make my 462km YTD bigger than my annual running totals from 2010-2021.

Time – 21h 59m
Better than nothing and August is another month.

Cheers, Paul. :slight_smile:

Distressingly, this is roughly a Spooner day plus a Bongo day.
