A higher state of cardiovascularness

catweazle · 02-10-2014 9:55am #1

After a few weeks of unstructured training after Kenmare which basically means a bit of running and **** all swimming and biking combined with the wife getting me to repaint practically the whole house again - I can feel the weight coming on so its time to get going again.

Break did me good I am looking forward to getting back into a little routine. Plan is winter training to get a solid base and then early in the new year start into an Ironman plan. So loads of 140ish bpm on the run and 120/130ish on the bike. Kenmare soothed a little of the what the fack have I done feeling I had when I signed up for Ironman France, I may not be very good at hills but I do enjoy them

Unsure of any other races until I see the calendar, I am not to worried anyways usually my best race is the first one as I tend to make a mess of carrying good form throughout the summer

A reasonable start yesterday

Wednesday AM Swim: 2500m in the pool, when time permits I will ditch the fins for the kick board sets, the short one today near killed me. Main part was 4 x 216 with pull bouy off 4.30, coming in around 3.50 on them. 2500m

PM Run: 8k run around the local loop @ 4.58 pace 145 AHR

Mixed bag today

Thursday AM Swim: The plan called for 16 x 108 off 2.05, which I was dreading. Arrived to see the pool swathed in darkness, I presumed power cut so decided I would take out the ipad and check my emails while I had a few minutes. Shortly after that saw one of the gym staff running up to open up - very late over 1.15 late, he will be in trouble with the regular morning guys tomorrow.

The net effect was that I no longer had time to do the set so I was able to go a little easier on myself with 5 x 108 off 2.15 and 5 x 108 off 2.10. Coming in around 1.45 for the first few which gradually faded and towards the end just making it in before 2 minutes, as expected some speed still remains but no stamina

Ha E's weren't around in my hey day, it was acid and mushies

I will admit I am testing the waters on Twitter with my company first off and I have been following you, trawling through 5000 Tweets a day from you I saw something about an Interval run and salsa. I would like to see the details of this run, seeing that you have more or less guaranteed that the sub 40 10k is in the bag already, was there 10 minutes break between each rep, was the distance 200ms each time - I am intrigued

Energy? Crazy hair? Popular misconceptions about believes in god? And misconceptions about profiency in second level maths?

I was actually on about the lack of "e" in tunnys posts but I got distracted mid post and it was answered in the meantime.

Yes Paul but at 16/17 I had to budget for a two litre of Cider and splits on ciggies as well on friday nights. You being a non drinker and smoker could obviously well afford the 25 punt the E's cost in those days - I certainly couldnt so had to wander around golf courses at 5 in the morning trying out different types of mushrooms until I got some visions

pgibbo · 02-10-2014 12:27pm

No pills passed my lips - FACT. Granted, most of the folks I was with were off their heads, but it wasn't for me

Dory Dory · 03-10-2014 1:48am

Oh good lord. What kind of log have we got going here?? Tunney, mossym, pgibbo (and I thought you were the golden child!), BTH??? I'm having visions of your Mrs. C grabbing you by the ear and yanking you out of this thread.

And don't even use the excuse that the air was too thin at the top of the podium.
