Nothing today, bloody toothache ![]()
hope you feel better soon FP
On and off sleet and sun all day.
Managed to get out for a decent bit of the day for my jog
Just walked to Tescoes now though. Itâs bloody freezing out there
No training last night as still felt weak.
Got up for a swim this morning
Thought Iâd just do some 100s as they are not too taxing.
Somehow going fasterâŚ
Decided to not go mad and stopped after 15 otherwise I could have dug myself further into the abyss
Finished off with some fins/snorkel work with some catch up and one arm
11km easy run, 1.02 at 5.37 pace
Tried the Clifton 8s for the first time. Forgotten how springy a new shoe is ![]()
Continuing to take the slight p*** out of working from home and went out for an hour on the bike over lunchtime. Nice 25km, weather still good up here at the moment after Wednesdayâs snow.
Very tempted to test the ankle out with a light jog tomorrow but forcing myself to give it another week.
50 minutes in the gym earlier.
Rowing, 2x2k, 1x0.5k
S&C, bridges, bicep curls, military presses, sit ups, side planks.
Strength this morning a few pbâs today.
Been asked twice this week am I on the gear?!
Lol⌠No.
Cardio this afternoon
Hour static bike
A better one, av hr 140 power 196, no fan.
Pity Iâm as heavy as a pig.
Onward to the â race â tomorrow, lol lots.
Must be looking hench
Lol⌠compared to how I was I guess.
I still want to be able to run, swim, ride a bike box do circuits etc.
Iâm happy and I ache less, possibly return to tri one day, see how we go.
Your racing soon ?
Bike race ?
Not until Ironman UK now. Week 1 of 12 nearly done. 2 more bike sessions and one run to get a tick in the training log.
Mar.22 â Month
Iâm going to put March down as just one of those months. ![]()
My âWeigh Inâ thread confession covers a trip to Ireland for a wedding in the middle of March.
But it has really been a story about the left shoulder injury I picked up at the end of Feb.
I wasnât able to get a physio appointment before I went to Ireland.
So, I settled for my second Thai MassageâŚ
Just one person this time, not a tag team, but 5 minutes in she stood up on my back! ![]()
(I didnât realise my rib cage could be squashed so much, as all the air in my lungs left.)
This time I knew to say âNo!â to the hot stones, except I didnât get asked, just pummelled again.
And before the jokers start, the only happy ending is when the hour is up. ![]()
Despite the pain and suffering, I still think ÂŁ50 for 60 minutes is a bargain.
Now Iâd skipped all weights, skipping and boxing in March, but my shoulder was not improving.
By the time I struggled to lift a bag of shopping out of the car I knew I had to see a physio.
Finally had my appointment yesterday and it turns out I have tendonitis.
So, I will need further treatment sessions and I have some recuperation exercises to do too.
Then to top it all off, last nightâŚ
My left calf seized solid in the middle of the night waking me up in sharp pain.
Glad I am WFH without âSmellovisionâ on Teams, as both my calf and shoulder are coated in this.
Anyway, hardly worth mentioning the training, but here it is anywayâŚ
Swim â 4.4 km
Just 2 short sessions and my shoulder playing up meant way too much kicking only.
Bike (Turbo) â 236 km
Better than last month, but still missing sessions or cutting them short.
Run â 33 km
Poor, really struggled to get out of bed in the mornings, despite all my kit being laid out.
Letâs see if the road to recovery in April is any better.
Cheers, Paul. ![]()
Month of March for me
Running 358km / 28 hours (32 activities, on wednesday I went out twice 'cos I had to cut my pre stand-up one short and went out again) - my highest monthly distance ever, basically made up of 10-12km almost every day with a couple of longer ones.
Cycling 7 hours indoors in 11 activites, and 7 hours outdoors in 3 activities.
Almost all of the activity done between 130 and 155 bpm, which with my normal max, puts me right in the âgrey zone etc.â that youâre told not to do it in, but screw you all.
Oh and my running total kmâs for the year is now at 998.75km.
25 mile

Got in just as rain began. Not the Madonna song celebrating my entrance into the close. Just good old Glasgow rain
Rain! Do do do do do do do do do do
Managed to move another 850kg bag of soil last night.
Between that, moving dust sheets daily, vacuuming, dusting, getting up to lay sheets down again, Iâve not had time for training again this week ![]()
Up at 6am today filling some holes.
Builder is back solo at 9am to finish off.
Off to B&Q for some bits now ![]()
55 minute steady treadmill run this morning before an afternoon and evening of
.
Woke up to the opportunity for a ParkRun so I ran down to the start with a minute to spare and put in a tempo effort. Started feeling good about 3km in and picked it up slightly for the last km to finish ahead of the pacer. Then jogged home for 11.6km.
23km very easy trail run with loaded vest, Ran 10km to parkrun, met family and we ran a 25.50, then I ran home. 80% trail but mostly flat.
Family runs Getting faster, well done, your kid will be beating you soon !
