Training - What Training?!

E116 is terrible 25 on front ( easy ish )
The rear is a nightmare 25 does go on but it’s very very close … I take your point I wouldn’t fancy changing a puncture in a race there

E119 tri I’ve done my last 4 ? races on
28 mm GP 5000”s zipp disc Xentis front no issues.

I have 4? Unused 23 mm tyres two are gp 5000”s
I really should put them on eBay, I wouldn’t use 23 mm or lower anywere other than Oulton or a perfect surface race track.

Personally “big “ tyres are essential now, the roads are so grim

:man_running: 22 miles… 35½ km

28km into 6km at Marathon pace… I only made 4km of the six and my legs fell off.

Seasons best for everything over 25km though :ok_hand:

Sprint session in the pool. A bit tricky to say the least. Max effort in fins…I think 25m took about 13 or 14 seconds…with four others in the lane… :ocean::ocean::ocean:

Then 5x9 threshold over unders on Box Hill, singing my heart out to AC/DC tracks, felt like a teenager again. :rofl:

Had a fairly big week last week with 2 races and about 50km of running

Unfortunately hip is not entirely happy about it, aching again. It had been so good up until this week. Looks like I’m not completely out of the woods yet which is a shame.

edit: I’m not sure if it’s running that’s doing it, or hip impingement on the P2 with 175mm cranks, or maybe both :man_shrugging:t2:

95km gravel.
Loaded like a rock star.

Not mad keen on the cut down bright orange bivvy keeping my tent dry, but it’s gonna make a nice ground sheet :white_check_mark:

Well … peeled off the canal for an early Sunday jaunt through Manchester.

Deansgate Locks to Picc is always a grim ride on the canal anyhow :poop::face_vomiting::syringe:

An unusual week, started well ( 3 k swim, hyrox sim, 30 min bike power test all with good results) but then it all got too much even a sports massage didn’t help
My first double rest day for a good few months Fri and Sat
Ate and slept well no alcohol
Stoked for todays session
Hour bike - hour run.
Bike went ok, run… the worst run I have ever done, I even changed t mills as that one was obviously broke … new one same speed same incredibly high hr ?!?
Dangerously high but not out of breath ?!
Chest strap ( polar) and garmin guesstimator both showing the same reading ?!?
Sacked it off ( I never do that ) at 32 mins

Unbelievably bad… quite stressed at the min, maybe it’s that ?!
Proper dog shit that session
Onwards

About 10 hours again this week for me, had the best of intentions for a decent run and possibly a Zwift today but have been fairly tired so fairly minimal effort really.

90 minutes of swimming :exploding_head:

Rest was a fairly even split between cycling and running, bumped by a 2 hour outdoors ride yesterday. Hip\leg was a bit tight this morning so could do with getting more time outdoors.

Also had a few harder sessions, 3 Zwift races albeit fairly short ones and the parkrun yesterday.

Most of this weeks running will be on the event next weekend.

That Sir, is cheating.

Anyway, gym first thing. Rowing warm up, then upper body and core.
