Daz Does Tri

OK, I have nothing. I'd love to make these blogs more interesting but the reality is even google thinks they're shit haha So back to what actually works for me. Weekly training updates. Aim for this week : get back into a full training routine. It'll be rough but just tick the boxes, get everything done and try to improve over the next 4 weeks just finding things easier than the last. Monday 3rd August 2026 Rest day. Off to Lower Mill. Body is battered. Hips still ache slightly and that's the short term focus. Tuesday Still too achy to do a session so the plan was to run 8 easy and then tag Anges c25k run on.

After that I had a stag doo to attend so I sit here typing this with a pretty good (although not terminal) hangover. There is no time to waste now. I have to align everything to even get back where I was previously. The data looks like this - 3.12mi - 18:42(5:59/mi) 158/169bpm [946b/mi]. Splits were pretty consistent. Maybe slight fade in the last mile but was actually paced well. 158 bpm for 6/mm is actually in the right place BUT the 168 max is very, very high showing that the last mile was almost at full race effort. No warm up, in Megablast and off no training so it's to be expected. Compare to pre-injuries and data was 3.1mi - 1...
