Yeah. Fair comment 
6 weeks of training left then 
Full last year and got to about this time and had every session pencilled in on the calendar; currently still in standard training /wing it mode.
Swim;
Was going ok - tho despite the crystal clear lake this week; managed to do the 1800ish loop 3 mins slower than previous weeks. Didnāt enjoy the breeze coming across the lake - first time took a mouthful of water in a while - then couldnt seem to hold a straight line (even swam into a tree!)
Bike;
Just need more time on TT. Zwift now all done so hopefully get some regular sessions and get comfy in position.
Run;
Well despite the flare up on the knee running outside; back on the treadmill and it was back to just a niggle. Canāt motivate myself to run past the hour inside tho. Plan another inside then going to try a run/walk outside see how things hold up that way.
Canāt say Iām desperate to try an off the bike run anytime soon either. Feels like a big step.
Whatās everyones key sessions over the next few weeks that I can blatantly steal rather than have my own training plan then?

Yes, I need this too. My coaching has finished and now I have 6 weeks to complete whatever training I can squeeze in.
Iāve got a 50TT planned on bank holiday, will ride it at target HIM power. Other than that, fill in the blanks.

Some of these sessions are on the sub 5 thread. I need to try and space bigger sessions these days to recover but TT level efforts like the 2*20 are a good starting place.
Probably 2 or 3K reps at slightly above race pace as well, can be done on the dreadmill

My loose game plan is swim on a Monday, main ride on a Wednesday and main run on a Saturday. With a bit of fluff in between. Iām definitely undertrained, average 6 hours per week so far this year although am on target for 8 hours per week in May.

Shut up you! 
Watch was on HR only. Saw the odd km alert but didnāt adjust pace or effort as a result.
Really need to fuel these sessions properly though from now on or Iāll end up in a hole. 1600 cal pizza in the oven now, and thatās totally getting it!
Probably rode a bit too hard as well considering yesterdayās ride. Iām not very good at taking it easy when Iām on my own as I get bored.
@mw22 I guess thatās one of my key sessions. Albeit it was totally unplanned and I made it up as I went along today!

Good key session that
Fully in approval of a 2.5hr ride at race power, followed by a 10km run off at race pace, or slightly above.
Bread and butter sessions them

Yeah NP was 233 so probs a bit high. But the ride had just over 1000m elevation. No really big climbs, but lots of up and down. Deffo feeling yesterdayās 1700m climbing as well.
Iāve got 2 hours now until I have to get the girls from school. Put it this way, I donāt think my step count is going to be going up in that time!

That was a really decent bit of runnage on tired legs, looks like you were below 1h25 pace for a lot of it. Did it feel ok?

Yeha on the flat I was working but it was comfortable. Any time it even tipped up a bit (elevation wise), the fatigue really bit. As above, I was really under fuelled though which didnāt help.

Yeah - you donāt wanna fuel up for those.
Just a little bottle of sports drink and one gel should be fine for three hours total if youāve had a decent evening meal. Sleep and breakfast
Iām jealous now
Harking back to 2019 when I had day times free 
Yeah I hope we are categorising those who can train like a pro vs those slaving away at work having to cram whatever sessions we can into a reduced window of opportunity

3 days of freedom. 3 days!
Iāll have the category, with @Jgav, for dealing with training and tiny kiddos that exhaust you all day long
