10 hours bang on this week.
Finished off with EIGHTY m”s burpee broad jumps in 5:31.
That’s competition distance for those that didn’t know…. Which is probably everyone on here !
Considering my first attempt ended before the 10 m mark 6? Weeks ago, I’m really pleased with my progress.
Managed 200 m”s unbroken walking lunges knee to the floor too!
Some good bike power and easier running this week too.
Stick at it !!
Congrats on the burpee jumps, serious progress!
It will be an improvement when I can run 5 seconds after finishing them.
The word in that community
is “ fatigued running”.
Your finishing some of the stations just able to stand.
It’s an experience for sure.
I was 25 miles west of Carmarthen when I typed that, which is where I am now. Decent sales on at the ASICS shop. Loaded up 
Bloody hell those accents, it was like being at work 
That’s OK then. You’re in the good country. Whereabouts are you?
5 runs, just 40km this week + 2 little bike forays on Zwift.
Work was irritatingly work-like this week & got to the weekend feeling pretty knacked. Then we had friends staying over Fri and Sat which was nice, but also a little full on.
Just been for a little run, wasn’t pretty. I dont remember exactly when someone worked the calfs and thighs over with a rolling pin, but it must have happened at some point.
1 week until half marathon. Hopefully can feel a little more lively by next Sunday.
Runalyze has dropped to 54% and is currently predicting 1h28, but it doesn’t know about the new Alphaflys because I haven’t worn them yet. Hopefully give them an outing for some intervals on Tuesday.
Still hoping for sub 1h25, best best case. On one hand, I feel like I’ve done the homework over the last 8-10 weeks & it ought to be in there. On the other hand, the bloke who went for a run this afternoon would probably have struggled to break 2 hours🤷♂️
Will fess up, whatever happens
You’ve done a lot of consistent training and I think you’ll do better than you think, and the hard Zwift efforts do help.
Hopefully work won’t be as manic but given your job I’ll be surprised, but assuming you don’t have friends to entertain. The mental fatigue is generally worse.
Pretty rubbish for me again, 8 full days off since the marathon but not that concerned, I hadn’t planned on having much of a post season break but have ended up with one but it won’t harm me.
Could have done without this cold, but I’ve had a niggly long week which has probably tipped me over. Monday was a long day as I stayed after work for a steady run and went to a running club meeting. Problems at work on Tuesday & Wednesday meant longer stressful days.
The TTT on Thursday went fairly well but I wonder if that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Roll on next week, hopefully can try something easy on Tuesday.
That IS low for outside.
Getting cold brrrrr.
I get a higher heart rate getting out of bed.
Patient man who works hard cultivating the plant sees great harvest when patience is combined with humility and determination in the days of the lowering sun.
You’ll be 'reit
Might save that one to mull over during the first 15km next Sunday
In a tiny hamlet about 3 miles from a place called Meidrim. It’s very much ‘stick to the path’ country!
Yeah i know it. Not too far from where I grew up. I drive past it on the way home.
9hr 42mins of good solid base work this week, made up of 2 swims, 2 S&C sessions, 3 runs and 5 rides. More importantly, feeling really motivated!
Lift and run today. I was supposed to be separating lifting from other stuff but I’m getting too bored
What you squating and benching now on 5x5? I’ve been so inconsistent I haven’t really progressed.
Crazy crazy doms from all that explosive stuff yesterday, amazing how much you can wreck your legs in 35 mins when your going really hard at stuff you don’t normally do!
Boxing this morning was really really crap and the hour bike PM just made it worse!!
Stick with the running.
IT WILL COME
After a niggle, and yesterdays run I mustered a 30 minute spin class earlier.
Still very light squats 42.5 today, I use 55 for maintenance in season but I didn’t want to hurt myself after the mara and Ironman races. It will start to hurt around 80 probably max out at 100.
Bench was 30 last week also very easy.
I’m fine with the running at least for now. I can’t get it out of my head that it’s the bodyfat that is the cause and not just a symptom. I haven’t managed to change my diet such that I shift it in six years or so of trying so I am fairly fatalistic about it now.
