Time not distance?
A days running?
How far will you get?
3rd ten hour week on the bounce, half weights/ cardio.
13 stone was too heavy for me, 80 kg suits me better 10 k treadmill times have gone, 58,55,52 mins, crap I know.
Static bike is good about 3-4 % down on my best efforts ever, I know it’s the extra weight!
Still not swam.
Recent highlight was a press up competition against a prisoner who’s on a constant watch, he’s one of the most damaged difficult individuals I’ve met for a long long time, he has been sectioned and is awaiting a hospital space, I like him! He’s bonkers.
I’m one side of the door he’s the other, the door is plastic so we can see each other.
Two other prisoners asked for there flaps to be opened so they could spectate !
20 each you go I go… gulp!
He failed on his 11 th set. Proud of him, he should have given up on his 7-8th… made him a cup of coffee and a mars bar as a reward.
A world away from what most of you are doing but we both enjoyed it!
Keep going everyone and good luck all those racing soon

Well you have 24hrs to cover as much distance doing laps on an 8km course as you can. Technically you could do one lap and still get a medal.
Goal for me is do better than last year, which was 70miles. I’m aiming to achieve this by moving for longer. Last year I got very sick 8hrs in, humidity I think. So I had to rest and get going again.
I was actually on the course for 19.5hrs, so the plan this year is to take the stint from 12.00 until dark very easy and not slow down as much at night. I was trying to stick to 1hr laps last year but that’s too fast and I paid for it.

Bloody hell !

Reasonable week for me again, Strava has me at just under 900 so a bit less than last week but more intensity this week.
Cycling was a lot further down but nearly all at intensity with Bologna, club 10 and the tri yesterday. Adding up to about 120k
47K of running, 2 hours on Wednesday and again the race yesterday, this is a fairly big week for me.
Swimming still not great, 4 swims but with yesterdays race being shortened that cost me 1K of O\W swimming (I understand why the shortened it of course!)
Hopefully a bit more balance this week and I’ll get back in the river as the weather is forecast to be a bit warmer from Wednesday. But will probably keep the intensity down.

Last week of “proper” training before Frankfurt and despite two shorter days due to theatre trips / dressing up events, still managed 19hrs 44mins
Much needed taper starts tomorrow

A crap week for me, not wholly unexpected.
2 x 1hr zwifts focussed in 70.3 power intervals.
1 x run
That’s it. Hoping for a tad more next week.

What is the forecast - when I glimpsed the forecast earlier this week they said proper hot later in the week?
Yeah @GRamsay mentioned the same but said it will tail off on Saturday. I haven’t looked since Fri and I could only see the next Friday which was forecast sunny and 25C.
I’d rather not know

Just had a look for Reading. They are forecasting 28 Friday and dropping to 22 on Saturday. Chance of rain Saturday but doesn’t look to be much.

You must have done more than that? Mine was mostly due to intensity than distance
I was busting a gut to get 180

Your a legend
