Decent weeks training

This week has ended up being a pretty decent training week all things considered.

I managed a treadmill run on Monday, a rest day on Tuesday then on Wednesday a 6km treadmill run at lunchtime then in the evening 15km run over the Wrekin (quite hill). All been at low heart rate and at 8min mile pace. It's actually pretty refreshing and relaxing running an easy pace as opposed to blasting out quick 5miles all the time.

This morning i went to the pool before lunch and did 10 sets of 200m. Started pretty quick (again, for me) but slowed considerably as the sets progressed.

Tomorrow i will get out for a run and am tempted to try the Gloucester Tri cycle route - have to see how it goes and how i am doing for time. Will be 6miles at least that's for sure.

As anyone who knows me knows i have become the king of podcasts!! Zen and the Art of Triathlon, Quadrathlon, Running Stupid, Endurance Planet, Zen is Stupid (shall i go on!!??) are all on my iPhone and get me through quiet days. There's a ton of interesting stuff out there and i am learning a lot about training and nutrition plus they are pretty entertaining. I am also finding them incredibly motivational as most are by people with lives who fit training in which is my biggest problem - time.

The TriClub are getting together on Sunday minus Nigel who's playing golf or something gay like that. We're doing a couple laps of the Gloucester Tri cycle route then a 7km run. Should be a good session and the forecast is good.

Happy training!

Bike returned...

So the boys in blue have done a great job - they found my neighbours bike and returned it today! Brilliant stuff!

So tonight is curry (takeaway) bit of telly and an early night.

Shurdington Tri Club session planned for tomorrow morning with a 0730 start. Will be an hour and a half on the bike with then a 20min run. Nice and easy tomorrow - not too far and pace should be reasonable so i can train on Monday too.

Struggling to get sessions of any substance at the moment - am snatching time when i can.

Lets see if Le Fasset and Stoddy kill each other tomorrow?!?!?

Bike Stolen

Not mine thankfully but my neighbours.

Last night was a fun night - at about 1am Sue was woken by a knocking outside - she looked out the window and there was someone trying to get into a neighbours garage. She woke me and we watched for a bit then i shouted out the window and he scarpered (albeit very casually).

An hour or so later he was back kicking the door in this time we called the police. They arrived very quickly and aprehended someone with previous. We were then up til gone 3am giving a statement. Unfortunately the neighbour's bike was stolen but hopefully they got someone for it.

Funny thing is if they had tried my garage they would have had more than a grands worth of bike easily. So not i park the car against the garage door.

Be safe!!
