I had to travel this week so 3 flights led to the usual disruption. However, jet lag meant I got in a lot of early morning treadmill mileage, then continued through with a Friday PM, Saturday, Sunday triple run. The weekend stuff was 50:50 trail/road. My goodness it is squelchy underfoot at the moment.
58 miles running for the week. No other exercise. May do an easy indoor spin or a les mills with my wife later today, but the hard work is locked in for the week.
26km mixed pavement/trail this morning. 350 mtrs vert, 2hr45
First of two week taper. All running for me this week, except for a short swim Monday.
A 6k and 12k recovery run Tuesday and Thursday bookended a vo2max track session Wednesday lunchtime. Meant to be 3x1 mile at 5k pace but ended up bailing on the final interval after lap 3 of the track. Slightly frustrating 10 days out from raceday, but I think the right decision. 3:24/km pace was a bit of a shock to the system.
Yesterday was a nice little hit out pacing one of our clubs open 5k track events. I was asked to do 18.10 and came in on that pretty much exactly.
Final long run this lunchtime of HM distance with 3x2k marathon pace intervals thrown in.
Downhill from now on. A couple of 10k strolls midweek, and thatās pretty much it before raceday in a weekās timeā¦
(I just bloody hope I donāt get ill again)
Steady 11 mile run today to take my running total to just over 33 miles for the week.
4hr ride today turned into a 2hr ride, when I realised how totally knackered I amā¦ for a total of 13hr16 this week.
Time for a couple of days off now before I end up overtrainedā¦ recognise the signs nowadays!
As per the trail thread I rounded off the week with a tough 24k trail run with >1k metres of ascent.
Probably back to taking it steady for a few more weeks, although Iām supposed to doing the north-eastern XC champs next week with the club, that will be a fairly stacked field.

Slacker. You could have gone another 700m to round up to 100 miles.
My fitness is now stable at 72 after I peaked at 80 at the end of October. Averaged 7h 30 this week. Most of it was base sessions. Even my garmin is telling me to work on more anaerobic sessions.
2*20 steady (~245W) on Zwift, buggered if I can work out how you actually do a race though
and a steady 1k round the block trot, which wasnāt pleasant!
Zwift race:
12km easy run today but split into 2 x 6km. First 6km was at 7am, cold and dark but dry. 2nd 6km was at 4pm (late lunch) and was absolutely miserable, blowing a hooley of a headwind, cold, nearly dark and pissing down.
Nearly turned back at 1.5kms in but was already soaked, so stuck it out. How can 6km seem like such an achievement? 
fitness on an upward curve again from a high of 82 this year, down to mid 20ās a month ago and now back up to 35 - feeling motivated all of a sudden
Do you need a HR for some of them as mine isnāt pairing with my phone, itās ANT+.
The interface goes slow over 4G and you think youāve clicked next, press it again when it doesnāt do anything and end up in just ride!
TBH, I think 2*20 works better for me anyway.

Not coming on here as much recently!
Motivation to train is pretty low, so Iām just doing odds and sods until I can be bothered to start again.
Iāve been getting stomach pains since the antibiotics, which I think is due to them stripping my gut of probiotics.
Mornings are pretty bad, but it usually passes by midday.
First time doing ramp test last night. My heart wasnāt in it, but still managed an ftp of 310, then cycles up the Alpe du Zwift in 58mins.
Christmas parties tonight and tomorrow night so reduced training this week
I have been like that since IM Wales. I had Lyme disease so was on 3 weeks of heavy dose antibiotics. I finished on the Friday and raced on Sunday. Then after I went through 2 months of feeling physically tired. Last week was the first time I felt I started to get my drive for training back, but I am in no hurry to force anything, and 2020 is a lighter year for me when it comes to events (no IM).
Take it easy @Poet, there isnāt any need to get back to it too early. Listen to your body. You basically just irradiated your gut biome!
So true.
Last week, I actually managed to stay in the lead group until the second half of a race (medium sized around 60 people) got dropped on an incline then came 13th in the end from a sprint between 3 people. Some āguyā in our second group bridged back to the lead pack that were over 60 secs ahead at the timeā¦thatās not suspicious 
Probably due a proper rest. Maybe do some non-tri related activities when you feel a bit more spritely.
