Something resembling training for me this week, 8 hours.
3 swims but only 1 hour.
2:30 running but a decent session on Thursday and fairly tough parkrun, and an 8K OTBR today
4:30 bike, mostly because of a 70k ride this morning
Hoping for a long run tomorrow to maximise the bank holiday weekend.
A new week and trying to start it right.
1hr on my bike around my flat commute loop. A tad windy.
Plan Aguille - took the cable car up to avoid a 1000m ascent. Along the Grand Balcon Nord - slow going as a very rocky path with some âinterestingâ drops to the valley below. All the way along to the Mer de Glace for a spot of lunch. The waiter asked daughter her for her phone number (he didnât get a tip). Girls took the train down while I ran back down to Chamonix - about 1000m descent.
Probably not ideal prep for the race tomorrow but given itâs more like. Bit of fun rather than something serious I donât mind.
Stunning views
Made the most of the BH and managed an easy 18K trail run with cake stop. Managed 33K of running in 3 days, mostly trails, so clearly working is bad for your body and running career!
Then an easy swim.
We took our kids up that cable car to Aguille du Midi from Chamonix when they were aged 3,5 and 7.
In shorts and t shirts.
The moment I knew we messed up was when all the French in the cable car started unpacking fleeces and puffa jackets from their rucksacks. It was about 30C in the valley, but 3 degrees at the top of the cable car. We sat around shivering in the cafe for 2 hours then came back down again. Vividly remember watching people below us traversing some icy ridge with crampons and picks and thinking what a bad father I was.
Started the long rebuild journey with 4 miles today.
HR was through the roof for some reason
8:04 min/miles
Gym this morning. Upper body and core because Iâm hench AF.
This evening 45 minute spin class.
but you still stayed up there for two hours 
FT.
Thinking about it, my kids probably wouldnât have cared if it meant they got a cola
9km club run
Ah. That.
They wanted to come back sooner, but you had to book a cable car back down too - this was the first option 
Sorry @tunster that brought a smile to my face. The cheek of it!
I know right!
It wasnât like I was right there
Club duathlon tonight if I make it out of work on time. Itâs on the bike track at night, and I had a bad crash there a year ago, so have gone with the roadie not the TT bike for the upright position & better sighting. Running is still not great so have got it in mind to target bike power tonight, if I could average 250W for the 30km Iâll be super happy but probably 230W - 240W is more realistic based on recent numbers.
edit: well thatâs embarrassing. Mouth writing cheques body canât come anywhere near cashing. 195W. Everyone was suffering though in the humidity, so maybe itâs not a total write off. On the plus side, run felt good which is encouraging.
11km easy trail run/walk with an injury recovering mate.
90kms on the bike with another couple of climbs up Leith Hill. Third ride in three days so was properly struggling today.
Undulating 10 and a bit mile run 
Was supposed to be usual 12. Very muggy tho⌠felt a bit peely-wally
Dropped the bike off at the LBS before my holiday in Spain last week. Its being sent off for a Carbon repair. Unfortunately they were on holiday as well last week so its not gone anywhere yet.
34km of running over four runs on holiday, 6km, 8.1km, 10km, 10km on lovely trails.
Slow and steady 6.5km run on the tredders.
First swim in about 10 days.
1000m, couldnât be arsed to do anymore and started to feel sick⌠above threshold for sure
MS 6x 100m off 2:12
CSS 1:55-1:56
Splits for the 6x 100m (
