Pedals, don’t trust turbo for this. Same pedals for race

I’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 - I’d can the hour run and do 10km at 4:16/km 
Not much to be gained for running for an hour. But if you wanna do it, then go for it

Yeah 
, will see. I’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 I’m starting to need a pee, you assassin 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 “peak” and I’d left my best session in training and not on race day, so always careful to not “leave myself out there” whilst training now.

7.2km trail run and 5 pull-ups. Will do some strength stuff later!

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

A “rest” day for me involves 12km of walking, generally 
But if it’s a 70.3 or IM, I’m pretty firm with not walking the dog on the Friday 
It takes a fair amount of power when you’ve filled the panniers with sand for race day.

I was going to say the same thing, other than a psychological boost I’d probably do 6-7K at race pace and 1K C/D
Can’t see that you’ll gain much physiologically.
But I won’t discount the mental benefits.

He’s just putting the mental hurt on everyone else. Mind games now

Lol, yeah another mental benefit I didn’t think of! Just like doing 50 miles in 2:20 after work with someone hanging on

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

Never really used to be an option. Worked till 5:30; commute home. Almost 7pm before get out.
Need to take advantage of the WFH for sessions like that.
Hoping to squeeze in a lunch OW tomorrow. No wetsuit takes away so much faff and kinda fits in a lunch hour. Kinda
