Youā€™re gonna crush Cotswolds :grapes::hotdog:

Iā€™ve switched my plan round, as I was so bored of my own company yesterday, to ride with some friends on Sunday instead. Hopeful of doing a @Doonhamer and getting out Friday on the TT rig for a little test.

@fruit_thief - Iā€™d can the hour run and do 10km at 4:16/km :+1:t3: Not much to be gained for running for an hour. But if you wanna do it, then go for it :running_man:t5::sunny::fire:

Yeah :+1:, will see. Iā€™m not certain I can hold that pace in 2nd part of run off bike though, would be good for confidence if I can maybe

Also @Doonhamer now Iā€™m starting to need a pee, you assassin :grinning: going to try cross legs until T2 (1)

Ah, gotcha!
My theory (personal to me!) has been if I can run that pace comfortable for 90mins in training, and hold it for 10km after a 80-100km TT ride, then I should be right come race day.

I once had a MINT brick session (161km in < 5 hours and a 16.1km under an hour run off - this was pre-Strava, so not even for the kudos!) but reckon that was my ā€œpeakā€ and Iā€™d left my best session in training and not on race day, so always careful to not ā€œleave myself out thereā€ whilst training now.

Oh, when I say rest :joy: I mean non aerobic exercise, ie not going for a run the day before! A triathletes rest day is different to everybody elses!

A ā€œrestā€ day for me involves 12km of walking, generally :flushed:
But if itā€™s a 70.3 or IM, Iā€™m pretty firm with not walking the dog on the Friday :person_facepalming:t4::dog:

It takes a fair amount of power when youā€™ve filled the panniers with sand for race day.

I was going to say the same thing, other than a psychological boost Iā€™d probably do 6-7K at race pace and 1K C/D

Canā€™t see that youā€™ll gain much physiologically.

But I wonā€™t discount the mental benefits.

Lol, yeah another mental benefit I didnā€™t think of! Just like doing 50 miles in 2:20 after work with someone hanging on :roll_eyes:

Queue the bongo pulling an all nighter on the coastal path :joy: fuelled by a kebab at midnight :grin:

In my defence; that was a missed session from the weekend (having not been capable of even walking after running on Saturday).
Oddly tho it felt a very good use of time - compared to a weekend morning. Need to do it more.

Yeah, I used to do a decent 1:30-2 hour session on an evening that bumped up the weekly miles
