Long time no post

Wow, nothing since Tuesday! Well, Wednesday I took as a rest day. The calf was feeling better but Tuesday's swim was very tired and laboured.

Thursday got out for a good 40 on the bike. Got a bit lost and it was VERY windy out there but had a good ride overall. Started feeling a little jaded but got into it nicely and settled into a good pace. Absolutely smashed a few miles along the A10 - between 22 and 24 mph which was nice!

Stole my Caxton-Cambourne KOM back with a very good 6.12 for 21.7 mph net uphill - NICE !!
18.8 mph feeling pretty good for 2 hours is good right now.
Friday tinkered with the Tri bike and had a couple of blasts on it while messing with seat height and angles. Stem still too long so need to address that but did get it on the turbo. Nice 0.5 mile blast at 25 mph - good from me as I am not that stable on it :)

Friday evening got out for just over 11 miles with Stevie B at 7.30 pace. Nice social run and felt good. Calf felt tight until 4 miles then was fine till Houghton hill. Very happy with that, longest run for some time and plenty to build on.

Saturday was again feeling jaded and just did an hour. 18.85 mph for the blast feeling easy and took a large part of it very slow. Got a surprise KOM which was nice!

Resting today as calf feels really sore. I'll do some S&C on it with some rolling and ice to give it best chance of healing. Feels like it did last time when time and X-training helped massively. Feeloing pretty fit at the minute just need to get some consistent running in and should start to pull together. Will swim and TT tomorrow by the looks of it.

Marshalled Bourn To Run today - nice race but looked slow up the front. Not sire of times but guessing 37-38 mins won it.

Big shout out to Monkey Boy - 37.04 for 10k - near 2 mn pb ahowing consistent consistency works. Brooksey for a big late season 5k pb and keeping fingers xd for Mr T at world duathlon - no results online yet.

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
