One Legged Man

-
Out for a half hour jog tonight, only managed about 20-25 mins as calf tightened up half way, but got something in at least.  Started the run with no tightness at all, started to dream about running quick again.  But with the tightness and pulling I end up into more of a one-legged hobble.

Glad to be doing something again, just cannot wait to get running relaxed again.

Diet is going well.  Just a packet of crisps and a percy pig is all the junk I have eaten today - trust me that's amazing for me!!

Interesting to see the Olympic selection and the usual strange decisions.  Women's 800 was a real shocker but I am guessing they knew that when they announced it.  Can see a Lee Merrien style backstep and another 1 or 2 getting selected in that.  Also great to see Stuart Stokes get selected after Beijing, absolute quality shout.

Interesting at work at the minute, several good projects coming into fruition and also the on-going saga against Google and SEO wars trying to compete with the big boys.  Fun and games!

Going to try getting to bed before 10.30 now to see if that makes a difference to my morning tiredness.  The diet should help - no caffine, sugar, fizzy drinks but still a struggle to get up this morning.

Will not run tomorrow, hopefully get a swim in.

Canyon Speedmax CF 9.0 Ltd Review

Last year was my first season in Tri and it went pretty well. Swim went from armbands to a 26.25 1500m open tri, my run stayed in pretty good shape and I went from a truly shocking cyclist to a fairly competent club rider. I decided I wanted to have a proper go next season and first step was to upgrade my bike. Realistic choices were between Cervelo P5, Trek Speed Concept, Felt IA & Canyon Speedmax. I was going large!! After spending hours of looking over data, yaw angles & wind performance I ordered the Canyon as it's the best looking one :)

Reboot - It's all about 2024

Wow, after what feels like months of doing bits and bobs with no structure and no motivation the time has come to start cracking back into a training plan. Obviously the only thing that's been consistent in the past month has been weight training, and away on holiday doing some hills I really found the benefit of the little I have done thus far. So here is the master plan for 2024. Big, BIG changes lined up. If you want to make extraordinary progress you have to make extraordinary changes. Motivation This was my biggest concern at the end of track season. I had no mojo. I could run quick but I couldn't be arsed to flog myself. Now I have had a break, the glass is full and brimming at the top.  Keeping on top of motivation is critical, this shit is hard . I have to check in with myself and life outside running needs to be sound otherwise it'll all cave in. The game has moved on Wow, when I returned to just running as a V40 moving to V45 age group 17 mins was quick enough to

Progressive Tempo

Todays easy run with DC turned into a progressive tempo for DP !! Had the day off work as Ange had her medical and bummed around all day.  Ready for the run at 6pm - DC was coming here on his way home.  Also have Ian D coming to mine tomorrow so a double home run for me ! Pretty much looked at bike porn all day.  Cannondale Slice tri-bike is favourite with a Di2 gearset so far but a Cervello P3 framset with Ultegra looks nice.  I have fuck all idea what all that means, I just look at whatever bike is - a) Jazziest looking b) got funky sheels, and c) been reduced most Kind of like the wine menu in a restaurant where you ignore all the words and look at the price !!  Light + aero = free speed and I will be needing plenty of that !! Also read some ironman blogs and reviews of Switzerland.  I am in for a good ride by the looks of things.  I need to be 5 hours something on that ride so 18.5 mph and above on the bike which is what I am riding for an hour and 10 right now. Am
