    Treadmill running a few days, some high rpm spinning (20mins a pop) and some flexibility work. I've been stuck in the gym for a few weeks and can't wait to get outdoors - fingers crossed this weekend for a bit of a blast

    On Sunday I did my first competitive cross country in about 16 years.

    :roll:
  • Nothing-injured.
  • Nothing - been eating lots of sweet things such as chocolate biscuits, chocolate, crisps, sweets etc.
    Worked very hard at it.....does that count?
  • Fluctating between being sick, then racing after no training, exhausted... repeat x 4 weeks
    Got a half marathon this weekend then I'm having a break for a couple of weeks, getting well and recovering.
    Come mid-November I'm going for swim analysis and ramping up for off-season training: turbo miles, long runs, lots of swimming. 2010 season starts in March for me. Eek!

  • Another one for nada!

    As a word of warning for any other rookies I made the classic error of upping the volume too quickly a month back and developed shin splints. Eased off for a week but didn't rest properly, kept sneaking out for "little" runs and "just a quick cycle". Launched into winter base training doing 3 x 1.5 hour runs, 3 x 40k cycles and 3 x morning swims one week and found myself limping for the bus and hobbling up stairs while also fighting a nice head cold.

    Queue ice on legs and no more running for two weeks which led into the GAT officers birthday being

    Fri - Go see Greenday at the O2 (yes I am a 36 yr old pop-punk fan )
    Head cold has now moved down onto the chest.
    Sat - House party, London club and home at 5am
    I'm getting too old for this, really I am.
    Sun - Hangover, recovery, out to the pub with GAT officers family (where did I leave my Benelin!)
    Mon - Day shopping in London as GAT officers present, dinner, cocktails

    Shin splints have cleared up, hangovers are gone, barking cough still to be gotten rid of. I can't wait to go out and do some training. It feels like I've not done anything in about 2 years!
  • 10K run at lunch time in central London - bloody awful place.
    30 minute strength session on the turbo.
  • 2250m swim yesterday with a main set of 18 x 100m on 2.15mins (first rep at 2mins descending to 1min 40secs).

    Strength session today

    The days are getting shorter!!!!!!

    Nothing for 2 weeks following Leicester Marathon and return of ITB pain at mile 18.
    Splits: 6 miles @ 42 mins; 13.1 miles @ 1:35; 19 miles @ 2:19; 26.2 miles @ 3:35. Those last 7 miles HURT, especially the underpass. Wanted 3:20 but happy to finish on the day.

    Last 2 weeks just yoga stretching hips, groin, ITB.

    Mon: Run 6 miles 42 mins
    Today: cyclocross training session with local bike club. Superb intervals on slimy grass. HR up at 175

    Start my Endurance Nation inspired training next week, 20 weeks on increasing power and speed on bike/run.

    Ade
  • Wed 1000m swim - and my first ever tumbleturn!!!!!
    Fri -gym session
    Sun 25k cycle - managed to conquer one of the steep hills for the first time ever - but wobbled and walked some of the 2nd (still there's plenty of time till my hilly next and 2nd tri in Tonbridge in May - may have to upgrade from my mountain bike before then)
    Tues - crap attempt at a swim - got away early from work, but it's half term and pool was filled up by very little people learning to swim - didn't want to power by and upset them, so gave up after 15mins
    This morning (making the most of about two weeks worth of light mornings) 5k run (well I call it running- but most of you wouldn't). much room for improvement there!!!

    Dear God! You're keen.
    Big respect. I get bored after 20 minutes.
    It's weird. 1500m is no bother OW, when I'm in the pool I fall apart after 100m!

    ok maybe posting will shame me to get off my backside and start the winter training!!...

    Sunday - 4 mile run...steady (i.e. slow pace)....aiming for LSD during the winter...
    Tues - 20km on my old mtb bike (tried to move my lights over but they didn't fit my trek roadie)...very strange being back on mtb with knobbly tyres on the roads
    Weds - 30 km bike ride (road bike)...tackled some very busy hills before if went dark!
