Training - What Training?!

Sweet spot intervals before gardening.

Enjoyed the GTN episodes on Challenge Salou and endurance running form.

Generating 231-246W for 140bpm on the bike compared to 7:03/km running for 141bpm.

40km ride for me this afternoon. Had wanted to do a 60-70km long one but got stuck doing domestic stuff til after 2. Different route today for a change heading south east out of Glasgow towards the windfarm in East Renfrewshire. An endlessly slow climb that had my chicken legs screaming :smile:

Looking forward to a steak pie and cold beer shortly.

I’m going to try that 140 test next t week.

Was that average hr for an hour?

Ah no, I was doing sweet spot intervals on the bike a bit complicated, and the run was my jog home after a tempo park run, but I’d find similar values in other workouts so I’m happy it’s representative.

People say run and bike thresholds are 5-10bpm apart but I think I’m way off that.

11 hours this week.

Knocked the cardio to easy and the strength to very hard this week.

Strength is certainly improving now, overall fitness not so much …… missing swimming … weird !

140km
2050m
Sketchy AF country lanes so pace slow as just making sure I didn’t stack it on the gravel and potholes.
Decent day out overall.

Did hit 82.2km/h on one road descent which is up there with the fastest I’ve ever been.

11.5 hour week in the bank so very pleased.

Wow. That’s a lot of calories… Is that accurate? I suppose 7 hrs :thinking: running or biking?

Is it? I have no idea, and you guys know my opinion on CICO.

Bike could be accurate enough as its measured power output, who knows about the rest.

2300 running, 500 swimming, 2400 cycling.

Ah I see. Good day that by the look of it, what’s yr opinion on cico

That it’s an irrational approach. :slight_smile:

6h week after messing messing up my ankle. This week I’m going to have to sit back and focus my attention on other things! Maybe some strength work plus I’m hoping swimming will be OK.

Eight weeks until Staffs.
I’ve not swam in a month.
Ran in just over three weeks.
And have done a 45min and 80km ride in the past three weeks.

Did a 13km walk yesterday and my ankle ached afterwards.
