A 3h bike ride today that went off plan almost immediately due to a funny turn during the warm up. (I am going to look into what that was). I seem to be always going on about some issue or other, but its just the way it is right now. Two steps forward, one back. Instead of an interval ride I did an easy one, because I was already out and for a change it was a beautiful warm sunny day. I even met a guy cycling in summer kit - shorts and summer jersey! I felt like I was stuck in a low gear all the way, no ability to accelerate or push hard at all. This is what happens when I take my eye off nutrition and rest. This loong overtraining recovery I am in leaves no room for debauchery at all.

12 hours of sleep and off we go again..
This morning was a swim, 2.4k as a mix of intervals and drills including 200 IM. The fly was funny in a tragic kind of way Took around an hour.
Tonight was an easy run 40 mins. Hr was way too high (for no reason) at first but I kept an eye on it and it settled into 130s. 7k0 -

Group turbo. A fast little set of cadence work that turned out to be the set that was most hated last term. Fancy that I picked it as a shake up to get everyone going after Christmas but given their faces at the end I think I was lucky to get out of there alive. Theyll thank me come race day Im sure. 0

To celebrate this momentous new AG day I went swimming at 6.30am. I was rocking a plum-diddly-umptuous new jacket, but unfortunately had to leave it poolside cos it had too much drag
Main set was 6 x 200 (50 sprint, 150 z3). With drills and stuff to bulk out the volume. 2600 in 67 mins.0 -

Sounds like the only thing missing to complete the look was a bejeweled birthday tiara!!0 -

I cant even remember being 25.
Today I ran. 60 mins with 3 tempo intervals of 10, 8 and 6 minutes. I think I ran these a bit fast because I wasn't given target pace or hr and when left to my own devices I do silly things. Good run in spite of feeling fat and slow these days.0 -
Out this morning for an easy spin with Tony and friends. I was encouraged to bring the tt, and I was glad I did. It felt comfortable and nice. But the easy wasn't easy for me. Tony and friends are fast. I made them stop for coffee tho. And I had two I had no garmin so all I know is that it was 2 speedy hours. Just don't tell anyone. It was supposed to be a day off. 0

Two weeks since I last updated. And Im not updating now. Im saying cheerio. Life has changed, priorities have changed. Its good tho. And necessary. No more iron distance racing, not for now anyway. Ill do a bit, but I doubt it will be interesting enough to post about. Im sad to let it all go, it's taught me loads, and given me abs. Its time for change now though. But Im keeping the abs if I can.
Have fun fellow loonies. Keep sweatin!0 -
Ah f*ck.
You were always one of the best posters around here, sorry to see you go. To use you own words back at you, its like the place is losing a friend. Best of luck on your journeys, hope to see that nice smile at shorter races. And those abs 0 -
