1hr very steady / slow gravel ride.
5km treadmill run at lunch. Avoid the rain / calf wonât allow me to run outside.
22km with 945m of ascent - just under 4.5 hrs in 29 degree heat with Mrs T from Chamonix to St Gervais
Met by a friend who has an apartment in St Gervais with 5km to go and then went to a bar/had a pizza with him before Uber back
Ran out of liquid with 3km to go
Us at the bar with a local IPA each
Cracking pint
Youâve probably got similar weather to us today.
Canât be arsed to cycle in this as itâs so windy. Will dust off my trainers and go for a jog.
Need a small nap to sleep off these mini beers
Back on the wall climbing today ![]()
45 minute easy run.
Kind of triple day!
AM - 3.7K swim, steady pace
PM - 2*20 @240W on Zwift
Eve - 1.2K swim, mostly 100 & 50âs with a bit more effort on tired arms
Arms are feeling it now though ![]()
Gym first thing⌠![]()
Also, @jeffb, swimming twice on the same day is wild.
@jeffb is practically a merman at this point.

Desperate times call for desperate measures ![]()
1hr easy spin on the gravel bike.
I think I might actually be able to start training tomorrow.
Cough pretty much gone now.
Take it easy, I thought that and every third day or so it came back.
I need your sand bags to stop a flash flood atm.
Maybe I can swim in it.
Glad I cleaned out the drains. Need to de-weed the drive after a week of rain.
Climbing again for me today
wanted to go for a run and do strength yesterday, but got distracted watching utmb. Blandine had me in tears, so emotional and inspiring.
I was actually organised this morning and got to the pool with the intention of a 30 minute swim before heading for my run as it involved catching a bus! But then saw someone I knew and was talking to
so had to cut the swim short! Had the best intention to complete it later but when I got there the pool was busy and I just CBA to swim round people, so had a sit in the hydro pool and sauna ![]()
I changed my mind about my original run as I didnât want to be stuck in the middle of the moors in a thunder storm, as it turned out I dodged the rain and it started just after I finished and was tanking it down on the way home!
Anyway, managed a 26K run with 650m of vert in 2:33, at least 14K was on trail\mixed surface with a few sections on road. Was feeling it a bit at the end, but it might have included a 20 minute stop for tea and cake ![]()
Took me to 13 hours for the week.
3:30 running
2:30 swimming
7:00 cycling
Didnât manage a long bike ride but got a decent ride on Monday and harder session, and also got a long swim & run which was what I was aiming for. Hoping for a longer bike next week.
5 weeks today, hoping for 2 more decent bikes and another run of 2:30-3:00.
Nothing today
Quads feeling the effect of 2500m of descent the last 3 days - I have been neglecting the hills at home it has to be said - nowhere to hide out here
Yep nothing for also.
Huge drive from the Alpes to home though.
2 x 20 minute spin class. Sweaty AF.
