Wednesday AM Easy 43 minute run. 8km. Starting to feel a little easier, took serious motivation to get out of bed for this.
Wednesday PM Swim. Could go on all sorts of rants about this. Fast lane + slow people = angry RQ. Women. Lane etiquette. Someone in the lane had a 5400m set pinned to her drink bottle (and two gels and a banana by the side of the pool. She must've been hungry...) anyway...you'd think someone doing a 5400m set would know not to push off after their recovery as a swimmer who has already overtaken them numerous times approaches...there was two of them who seemed to be together and were similarly thick. They insisted on pushing off and turning at the wall even though they knew I was stuck behind them and was going to overtake them. AGH!!!
Anyway main set was
2 x 200m (3:41, 3:42 (with traffic))
2 x 400m (7:28, 7:33 (seriously get out of the ****ing way))
2 x 200m (3:50, 3:48)
Got some dirty looks as I got out of the pool. Strange since I was actually well behaved and stopped, stood up, waited for whichever whale was currently sitting ahead of me to build a gap before swimming again (not that it took long to make the gap up) rather than aggressively overtaking like I normally do.
This swim was better. Still feel a bit windmilly and finished it off with some pull buoy 100s. A couple of more decent swims and I'll feel back on track...though may have to miss the 6am slot tomorrow morning.0 -

Good to see. I'm with you on the busy lanes and poor etiquette nonsense - boils my blood when I meet it too and I'm very concious to make sure I don't intrude on anyone else when I'm swimming, I'd be mortified if I thought somebody was thinking this about me 0

Thursday AM Didn't sign up for swimming but knew there was a couple of spaces available in my lane. Alarm went off at 5:30. Turned it off and went back to sleep. Living 10 mins from work now will require a lot more motivation to get up for morning training!
Thursday PM RUNNING!!!!!!!! The guts of todays run plan was 6 x 1k...not know the area too well, thought I'd have to go back out to the industrial estate for this, but spotted a nice stretch in Ballinteer on my way in last night. Thought, this looks fairly flat (looks in the car can be extremely deceiving) and could be good for reps. So headed out there and the stretch is just over 1k so perfect for these.
6 x 1K @ 8k - 10k pace. These were off pace @ 45 min 10K pace but to be honest, I'm crap at 10ks so if I was to go and run one this weekend I'd probably be lucky to break 45 so we'll call that session a success HR's way too low for this but at least the legs were moving a bit again.
Hoping to hit the pool again tomorrow then have to try plan out my weekend. Signed up to the Ben5K in Wexford this weekend but I'm on call and there is no chance I'll be able to race it even if it is only 5k. Will see what training I get done on Saturday and try to plan what I can squeeze in on Sunday. Could do the 5K at the end of a long run if I can get down to Wexford early enough. Would hate to miss this race given what it's for.0 -
Friday PM Swim. Did not belong in the club fast lane last night....Fine for the first hour or so, able to hold the pace but once we moved onto 200's for the last 15 mins I was a goner.
Saturday AM 120k on the cards for today. Wasn't overly confident about heading out with the group for this as it'd be a 30k average kinda group and I've not been out for 2 weeks...and then it was a bit of a struggle. First 60k or so was ok, except on the hills as we got towards 60/70k. ITB can start to pull on the bike when fitness/strength drops off a bit so the uphills were a killer. The way back was a slog, had to be carried home. Sally Gap and Killiney were easier than this two weeks ago, has my fitness dropped this much in 3/4 weeks? This pace would have been fine a few weeks ago, even with the bit of wind etc
129k in 4:44. Pace dropped off on the way back due to my struggling and they refused to f*ck off and leave me on my own
Got home and started rolling the bike through the house, discovered the back brake was rubbing. Well that may have been a factor...such a ditz.
Nice to get the longer spin in and get this boxed off by lunch time Saturday.0 -

At least you'll be ahead of my on cycling km's for march from the off...but if you want to take a rest day, you should...you wouldn't want to risk getting blown off your bike. 0 -

I thought we would have seen you down in Wexford yesterday?
There was chocolate biscuit cake in the hall after, I was thinking maybe you made it?
Nope, didn't make it down. Hoped to get down to help out and bring cake on Saturday but with the move didn't have the time Hope it was a good event, Bernard deserves it! 0 -

It was an absolutely brilliant event; made even better by the absolute torrent of wind and rain during the race. As soon as we stopped the weather was lovely!!!0 -

Wednesday AM Up for a run. Plan was 60 min easy. Actual run 54 min easy @8:40 pace. Easy pace and HR creeping down again. Still feeling very tired and like I'm still harbouring an infection. Frustrating as hell.
Wednesday PM Hit the pool for an easy swim. Took a lot of motivation to move for this but with 5 days since my last swim I needed to get back in the water. Feeling tired beforehand I opted for the 'recovery' set Tango sent on. Felt better than I expected and nice to be feeling more and more comfortable in the water.
Hoped to return to Thursday morning swims and even went to bed before 11pm to facilitate...when I went to sign up for it there were no spaces left. Had been 4 left earlier in the day!
Switched my 5:30 alarms off and went to sleep. Only occurred to me after I got up this morning I could have gone to the local council pool here that opens at 6:30. I'm totally not used to having a pool thats open that early nearby, but this could be a good option for me now for morning swims...evening swims however, a no go there as they don't have lanes set up till 9pm and i'm f*cked if I'm swimming widths or paying 700 quid a year for Westwood/UCD or David Lloyds...0 -

Monday AM Morning run. Plan was 50 mins easy. Easy pace rising so 46 mins done on my normal 50 min route. 46 min / 8.6km
Monday PM Coached swim. Swimming is still very much off...not feeling comfortable in the water at the moment. Confidence definitely way down here. It'll come back. Still not feeling 100% so sluggishness probably still just showing in the pool. Swimming well every other swim so not too concerned, it'll come back together. 45 min / 1750m (I think)
It was pointed out to be by three different people that I referred to my Sunday spin as 'only' 100k...who'd have thunk I'd ever be saying that surprised still how easy it felt and virtually no recovery...fitness/endurance probably much better than I think it is!
Tuesday AM 3 x 12 min @ AT pace. Great run session - HR's a little low for AT pace but hitting/holding 7min miles for each interval. So good to be back at that level. Really, really enjoyed this one. I miss sessions like this. 70 min / 14.5km
Tuesday PM Was meant to be swimming this evening but had to help the mother with some stuff after work so missed club swim and hit the turbo instead. IM effort pyramid - 48 mins / 20km
There's a space available in our Monday swim sessions if anyone is looking for a good coached swim. 9pm Mondays in Tallaght Leisure centre, you'd need to be able to swim 7:30/8 mins for 400m but jackyback used to do these sessions, so if he can do them anyone can :pac:0 -

Good god, I'm in my PJs at 9pm during the week! I can't even imagine starting a coached swim session at that hour! :eek:
It's late alright but the bloody underwater hockey players use the pool before us...a night of staring at the ceiling after the hard ones. Luckily, I'm swimming like JB at the moment so I'm able to sleep after them as not too wired 0 -

What are you doing up at 04:33? :eek:
I'm so dedicated I got up fora 5am turbo session
Went to bed at 10 last night and woke up at 3:30...so blocked up again and now questioning whether it's linked to my oesphagus issues. Lot of people in the office sick so it could be just that the germs keep circulating around.
Training for this week has been updated to:
Wed: Sick
Thur: Sick
Fri: REST
Sat: Sick – Check your morning lying and standing HR’s
Sun: Sick or (if OK do a bike):(
I knew the 4 months of consistency would come back to bite me in the ass
I had a great turbo and great AT run on Tuesday and I was recovered from Sundays short long spin before I'd even got off the bike so speed, fitness and endurance is there. I've next week off work, the whole idea of this was to spend the week training (particularly cycling) but if it means less training than originally planned, resting and finally shaking whatever this is I'll benefit more from that in the long run. I've plenty of 15 hour ish weeks behind me at this stage so I've got a lot to work with from say the week after next which is 14 weeks to go.
I know when I think it through logically that I will be fine and I've plenty done and plenty of time to train. It's when I'm making the decision that I will miss todays/the next couple of days training sessions that I get frustrated. Once the decision is made, it's fine. I'm not particualry worried about running or cycling...a bit freaked out about swimming but I'm sure that'll come back together once I'm actually better.0 -

Could be karma for slagging off Eddie not winning
Echinecea, zinc and garlic tablets I find help.
Also protein. Supplementation has been linked to reduced URI in athletes.
Also they are not small speedos, they are rather large, they just have alot to cover.0 -
5 days off training...still not 100%. Been busy this weekend helping the folks with stuff. Still feel lethargic. I feel like I could train, but I don't feel like I'd benefit from training. Had hoped to get out on the TT for an hour or so today, just to try it out but busy, tired and know I'm not better. I really don't want to prolong this any longer than it's already been hanging around. I'm only meant to return to training tomorrow if I feel better. Being out of the office and away from everyone else's germs and the air con should help. Trying to get over the disappointment that this was to be my big training week, filled with cycling in the Wickla hills and it's now going to be easy training and rest...which will help given what the last few weeks has been, but I'd really been looking forward to this week Still, at least I didn't shell out for an overseas training camp that I wouldn't have been able to participate in. 0

Sorry to hear it's not going well. Have you gone for an "NCT" as a matter of interest? It's just nagging at me that maybe there's a latent cause for this flatness? On top of the other stuff you shared I mean...
Wishing you light at the end of the tunnel regardless, and the good thing about the Wicklow hills is they will outlive us all and never not be there 0 -
Dipping in here on and off you seem to be sick for the best part of the last two months?
How many hours are you putting in a week?
It's been hanging around for about 6 weeks. I get better...but not fully better and looking back just now...I'm doing way to many hours on my first week back so to speak...I think I'm going easier but the bike hours drag it up. I've been hitting 13-15 on my normal weeks. Each time I have come back it feels like I'm taking it easy, but I'm clearly not.
Jan 26th - Feb 1st: approx 13/14 hrs
Feb 2nd - Feb 8th: aprrox 7:30/8 hrs (sick)
Feb 9th - 15th: Just under 15hrs
Feb 16th - Feb 22nd: about 6/7 hours (sick (my polar diary says 4.5 but pretty sure there was 1 or 2 hours on top of that, perhaps not though))
Feb 23rd - March 1st: Just under 14 hrs
March 2nd - March 8th: About 11 hrs
March 3rd - March 15th: 3hrs 27 minutes
To go from being sick to 15 hours is obviously absolutely stupid, not something I realised I was even doing and I would suspect the reason why it is still hanging around now. If I hadn't of checked I would have told you the weeks following being sick as an easy 8/9 hours.Sorry to hear it's not going well. Have you gone for an "NCT" as a matter of interest?

Nope, I was going to go on Friday and decided to go to work instead, then I promised I would go today and stayed in bed till 11 instead. (couldn't tell you the last time I stayed in bed till 11!) The doc is just going to tell me I have a cold and send me home for rest. Had blood tests mid-Feb which came back fine.
From start of February I also had a promotion opportunity come up in work and a few external job interviews (lots of stress and overthinking about where I'm going and what not, I'm sure you know the deal), moving house myself (still moving) and work being abnormally stressy anyway. Some things we all forget when training or struggling is the non training stuff going on in our lives - so that hasn't helped. My general everyday diet also went to absolute sh*t during most of this...again, doesn't help.
This is pretty normal for me, I knew that once I picked something up, it would take me weeks to get over it. If I had been a bit smarter from the first time I got over it, I wouldn't be here again now I reckon.0 -
Accumulation of a lot of unrelated non-Tri stuff - know the feeling well.
Blow through it, season is far enough away that perspective can shift to accommodate I think.
Upside: weather's getting better - runs and cycles should start being fun again 0 -

Proper training itch came back today! Woke up tired...but feeling well, probably feeling better today than I've felt in about 5 weeks. Success. That being said, had very little rest over the last few days. Hoped to swim and run, had stuff to do this morning and afternoon so didn't get to the pool till about 4 and was then on strict timescale...had about 30 mins free to swim, had a quick glance at the swim sessions for this week but after 10 days out of the pool and so little free time I just hopped in and swam for 30 mins, slow and steady, focus on keeping everything as balanced as I can. Surprised to fell comfortable from the start, normally I'd be flailing around completely after being out that long...such a relief to be back in the water. I actually missed it! :eek:
1500m
Didn't get home till after 8, by 9:30 when I had some actual free time I decided I'd rather watch tv than run. No big deal for the week that is in it...activity levels are probably higher this week than they would be on a full training week!
Spent most of the day thinking what a lovely day it'd be for a long spin today.
Had the most amazing news regarding some family stuff over the last couple of weeks, had been thinking that my new house was the reason I was sleeping better, only hit me this morning it was because most of that crap is now gone from my life. Sleeping like a baby! Stress is one thing you never realise is effecting you until the thing that was causing the stress is gone. Reaction is ''what the hell is this thing I'm feeling? relief? joy? rested? whats wrong with my eyes? Oh...this is...weird" 0 -
Friday Into the pool again. No point in trying to do a session but adapted a Tango sent session anyway. Quick warm up, some balance drills and into 20 x 100, changing what I was focusing on for each 5 x 100.
2400m total 52 mins.
Quick run this evening. 19:30 mins 3.71km.
Feel better again today, not 100% yet, won't go crazy over the weekend. Next week is a new week, back into a full week of training. Now have easter week off work so the focus then will be what I was hoping to get done this week (may even manage a sea swim since it'll be April )
Not panicing yet, though if next week is a struggle I might, end of the day, I expected a long lay off it anything hit me, this is why I started in September! Feel good in the water, feel good running, feel ok on the bike...everything be grand once I can stay healthy for the next 14 weeks!0 -

Saturday - helping out at the club TT in the AM. By the time I got home it was nearly 1 and I'd planned to meet my friend and 2 to watch the last two 6 nations matches. Day off no harm after the two weeks I've had anyway! Couldn't get a taxi for love or money, ended up driving to work and parking there and hopping on a Luas....made it just on time for POC's try!
Sunday AM Up early to go pick up the car. Short run, 4km 21:11.
Sunday PM 2 hr bike max. Just hit the park for this. Got the road bike serviced last weekend since I wasn't training and first spin since getting it back. Love a newly serviced bike! After my bike fit on Monday, I now realise why I feel a bit uncomfortable on the bike and felt like I needed a fit ( I don't ). Now all I can feel is the lack of strength on my right. Like when you're in the pool and the coach points something out to you, then thats all you can feel as you try to correct it for the rest of the session...headwreck...but I also know how to try and correct it, a power meter with left/right power would be interesting right now (and could have identified this much earlier). Nice and handy - 1:51 48K.
Quick change of shoes and out for another run, just a quick run up to the park, lap around and back to the house. 12:14 - 2.51km
Glutes and hammys feel a bit achy when I'm running today, probably cos I've spent so much time sitting on them the last two weeks! Felt great to be training today, I did feck all really, but good to be training, enjoying it, feeling good. Feel a lot better now, fingers crossed this is the end of the setbacks for now. 0 -
-
Garmin Vector pedals do left/right power.
So do Polar
Not an expense I can afford right now after the bike but power meter is what has been recommended to me as my next purchase by a few people who know a lot more than me over the last few weeks, maybe something I'll look into for next year...would like to upgrade my trainer and was looking at wahoo trainers and similar, so we'll see.0 -

Wednesday Turbo plan 3 x 10 mins @ IM effort...5 min 'cruise' recovery. 50 mins 22km
Straight into a run off the bike, into the freezing rain and biting wind. Ideally this would have been 60 mins, but this is not an ideal world Still don't know the area well so just went out and decided I'd do a lap of the outside of Marlay (and hope for the best that I wouldn't get lost) - this lap brought me home about 20 minutes earlier than I assumed it would. 5.2 miles 42:30. The whole point of this is to hold the pace throughout the run - don't think there'd have been much problem holding 8min/mile for another 20 minutes. This is goal pace for these sessions and I didn't even attempt to try to hit this so I obviously didn't do my turbo hard enough.
Need to get back into the hurt zones across the board...hardest part of returning to training for me is learning how to hurt again.0 -
Thursday After early mornings Mon, Tues, Weds and two hard days in a row...I opted to skip Thursday am (easy) swim. Just being cautious.
Thursday PM had a run session pencilled in, but my Wednesday sessions had been muddled a bit and were harder than originally planned. I was feeling a bit tired on Thursday and walking on eggshells this week so wasn't sure trying to hit the session would be a good idea. Set off with the workout started on the watch. Legs heavy...I continued on my warm up mulling over ''easy run...or try the session'', ''you could do the first rep and see how you feel'' ''no, you effectively did two run days in a row at AT HR, another session, would be really stupid'' Got down to where I would do these with another 4 mins of a warm up to do and deicded to go easy and go on an adventure to try find the local council pool, so turned off. A couple of minutes later my watch beeped for the start of my first rep (4 x 800 > 5 x 300m to 200m cruise 'recoveries' ) - when your watch tells you its time to run faster, what else are you going to do? Picked up the pace and set off...now these were meant to come in around 3:05. They did not so technically, I did an easier session, so technically I was still being sensible...
Bumped into Woddle and Peter Matthews at the end of rep one so my recovery was a little longer than planned (see, took it easy). Each rep got faster...none hit 3:05. In the 3:2x territory so extremely slow for an 800! :pac:
300s were spot on. When I first read this session the first time I did it and saw telling me to do 300s in 78seconds I thought, wtf? thats not even fast...how do I do 300m at that pace. Yeah, when you're ballaxed...it feels faster!
Friday AM Strength session
Friday PM Ouch...swim...ouch
So, I went into this thinking that maybe I'd drop a lane for this session. My swimming is truly awful at the moment, considering how bad my swimming is when it's 'good' that shows how sh1t my swimming has ben over the last few weeks. Dreaded going to this, thinking I'll just be slow and it's depressing as fudge when you can't hold the feet of people who are normally ahead of you (something we can all relate to I'm sure!)
Anyways...
w/u 8x80m kick - normally my kick is good, but legs felt horrendous, couldn't hold my kick, thought if this is the warm up this must be an easy, technique based session, grand, thats what I need.
lol...easy, technique based session...one can dream
Session was 28...28 x 100m
28
28!!!!!
off 1:50
28 x 100m off 1:50
You have got to be f*cking kidding me!!
So, 28 x 100 set out as (7 x 100m, 1 min rest, 6 x 100, 1 min rest, 5 x 100, 1 min rest.....)
A good group in the lane meant we could pretty much swap the lead for each 100...though as fatigue and fear set in this method dies a death and it turns into ''who is the one who will slow us the least''
These all came in 1:43 or faster, couple on my watch came in 1:44/1:46 but they're ones that I was fumbling at the watch for or when I forgot to lap! (1:59) So very happy with this. Didn't think I'd make it through the session, but, as I said in my last post I need to just suck it up and learn to hurt again!
Most of session here

Saturday Long run 2:15 - 2 hours easy 15 mins steady. Good run. Solid.
Missed turbo
Sunday Nothing
Monday AM Missed run
Monday PM Coached swim. It was better. 1900m
Turned up to swimming really down in the dumps about training and where I am and how little time I have left. Felt reassured after talking to the guys.
Tuesday AM Missed AT run, but worked out how I would rejig training for this week so I could get this and Mondays run in.
Tuesday, sh*t hit the fan. Left work at 3:30. Missed evening swim
Wednesday AM Needed to get some anger relieving trianing done. So rejigged again. Hit the pool for threshold swim. Head just not in the right place. 30 seconds rest periods were getting closer to 2 minutes of staring into space. Not hitting pace. Decided to just swim. Still not working. Got out
Wendesday PM Missed turbo. Went for run. Felt like I'd put on about 5 stone since Saturday. 40 minutes. Home. Shower. Bed.
Thursday Missed run session. Missed swim. 50 minute ish run. Easy. Felt like I was carrying an additional 2 stone since Wednesday.
Friday AM My bike plans went kaput on Thursday but I felt a nice long cycle on my own, with my own head would really benefit me. Woke up at 8:30 and didn't feel like moving. Eventually got up, had breakfast and stayed on the couch, staring aimlessly into space felt enjoyable. Joined up with the club for a swim this evening which was ok but I dropped out of some reps as I just couldn't focus.
Life is a total bi*ch sometimes. Total sad face this week and just can't pick up and train through it. Not eating either so double hard days probably not overly wise anyway. I'll be ok...one of those things that'll get easier with each passing day but with the few weeks previous to this I really needed to get back on the training wagon. So much for me thinking all the stress was gone 0 -
