Ah. That’s not structured training then.
Thats hero training.
Taper time now.
The big session is behind you.
I don’t think I can even swim at 2.24/100m pace. I’d sink

I was in a wetsuit!
Inspired by Bongo and absolutely nothing to do with being a cold weather fanny I also managed something resembling a training session!
2/2/1K with short breaks on the dreadmill, pace was somewhat more sedate though probably about my current 10K pace.
This was after wimping my bike ride outside as winter seems to have arrived. Was going to go in the garage but I CBA.
Gym this morning. Swim tonight.
I took a shot of mtfu and got out for a couple of hours in the pouring rain.
Bugger, thought I’d got one over on you, for once
Queued up at the front door. Helmet on. Bike ready waiting for the Mrs to get back from her quick ride. Hoping I have time to squeeze 30 mins in before we depart on a 4hr drive.
I’ve gone all in. Could’ve (probably should’ve) done yoga and stretching with this limited time instead. But I’ve placed my bet and the chips are down.
And we wait…
… And I got out.
And found out what happens when you don’t ride your tt bike for almost a year.
What? You do 162km at 34kmh?
I went out on the road bike, 105km at 31kmh.
50% group, 50% solo.
Group riding is SLOW
People braking going down hill. Into bends. Being really slow uphill.
I took about 10km of that then just rode on the front
Don’t think group riding is for me anymore
Run first thing.
5.20km. 66m elevation. 22:59.
Brilliant FP and LO
Errr no. Cos I haven’t been riding my road bike either.
So I’ll ride for less than 30 mins at 30kph with a broken neck back, shoulders and wrists!
14km to last UTMB aid station (La Flagere) and back with Mrs T and daughter
Pausing for lunch at La Floria
14km 850m of vert
Week 3 of “let’s get back to it” here. 7 hours, might even make 7.5 if I go for a swim later (no promises)
Ran 35km, biggest week since April. Unfortunately seem to have irritated hip by pushing a little too fast on the treadmill. Will back right off next week in terms of pace I think.
The weather’s only going to get cooler now so training hopefully should become a little less of a sweatfest
Phew, so you are still alive
Thought you needed medical assistance in the hallway!
Got into a bit of a race with another (rare like unicorn) cyclist on the way home. Perhaps a bit stupidly as it was far too hot for any of that malarkey
Shudder, traumatised when people mention or are at La Flagere!
Sat in a tent at about 2am mumbling to some Italian bloke who spoke as much English as I do Italian both wishing the cable car was running to get back.
Then going outside and trying to be sick for a couple of minutes
