With the season coming to its end over the next month or so what is everyone aiming to do over the autumn/winter months to prepare themselves for a record and performance beating next year!! Personally I'd love a trip to Lanzarote but dont think my beautiful pregnant wife would take to kindly to it! so looks like some turbo training n running in the rain

This is going to be my first winter maintaining my training, I normally do other 'warmer' sport! Just fitted mudguards to an old bike, set up turbo and taken out gym/swim membership. Also booked on to do a Pose running clinic - gonna try and build this up over next 6 months.
Key targets to improve technique and therefore efficiency in swimming.
Try and learn then use Pose running.
Maintain endurance base for cycling.
Develop core strength for injury prevention and improved performance.
Reduce body weight,
Sounds easy huh? Bring on the wind and rain!!!!
In the meantime I am aiming to do 12 weeks of proper long slow base training up until Christmas and by then I should have a good plan for the second half of winter.
the frosty air the autumn trees the quiet tracks and country lanes.
The canal covered in ice and the narrow boats with smokin chimneys.
The mist across the farmers fields.
Just take a look further than your ipod buttons its a beautiful country and what a way to see it.
The other fun part of winter running is the icy floors. Even though it's a bit dangerous I find this adds an extra interest - looking out for icy patches, running tentatively across frosty pavements, feeling my feet slip as I push forward, trying to run on fresh snow to avoid slipping.
Now I'm all excited about winter.
