- My training is consistent.
- They say consistency is key.
- I donât think âbinning offâ sessions consistentlyâŚ
- is what they mean by consistency.
Have I been consistent in consistently getting the use of the word / grammer wrong or does that semi make sense?

My run was nice when I started and pretty cold when I finished. Just walked from the hotel to the pub across the road and reckon itâll be proper frosty in the morning

Arenât you mr fucking wonderful
Dont understand the commentâŚ
my point is my training is the opposite to what the ideal would be.
Consistently missing and not doing sessions. (for no good reason, just lazy)
So if you mean Mr wonderful in crap training, yeap, thats me at the moment.

I just came to that realisation about an hour ago.
Normally Nov - Mar is my most consistent period of training, I like the cooler conditions and normally less other thing to do.
Nearly getting mowed down twice( bikes without lights) when the clocks changed didnt help. Also dog walkers with trip wire leads across the path that you cant see hasnt helped with the motivation.
Get into a rythmn and have no incidents and Iâll be good.

I felt better by the Tuesday to be honest.
A big missed opportunity to get some-were near a hyrox podium ( it was a much smaller race and age group to be honest ) but coughing fits and burpee broad jumps donât really go in the same sentence.
One of those things I guess, the hyrox bubble seems to have burst as you can now enter last min on roxtickets ( there were spaces for Bham and Manchester recently )
Cheers for asking

I know someone dipped his toe in triathlon with me last year, now switching to a hyrox event next year. I can see the appeal of trying something different.
I assume itâs not as full on as IM training schedule, but with all the HIIT just as exhausting?

Still big numbers !
One fit looking 30 year old posted
â yes finally a top 50 placing in my age group?!â
Initially seems â modest â but when there are 600 in your age group thatâs the top 8? %
Good time too.
Still very popular
