Evening all - turbo again this morning, little run through the woods tonight. recovery is officially completed I think so back on it properly in the morning. The Northern line felt particularly unpleasant this afternoon.
First post-half run this morning - I normally wait a full week but I thought it would be nice and cool after last night's thunderstorm. I thought wrong. Even at 6.15am it was 19 degrees and 94% humidity!
Time wasn't bad though - 3.69 miles (one lap of Tooting Common) at an average pace of 9.49. I was sweating like I do after Bikram. Speaking of which, I'm just off to the gym for a quick session and will hit Bikram a bit later.
well, I knew I was tired but even then it is unusual for me not to wake till 8. So too late to have a run or spin before club swim, but at least I will make swimming
Morning - turbo and core this morning. Gobi, you can justify the expense as you can ride a bike, my upgrade was Ultegra rather than 105 as I do hammer my gears on the hills, still learning to use the left hand gears.
gobi - you spend enough time on your bike to justify the expense, my car cost much more and I don't spend as much time in it as you do on your bike!
cal - well done on sports day. Organising these things are exhausting. I organised a maths day for years 8 and 10 today and I am shattered! ran this morning, did plan to go to the lake after school, but seeing as I am almost falling asleep and it is a bit of a drive I thought better of it

Legs still sore as hell so gym and yoga today. Jesus it's hot.
Turbo this morning and back on the track tonight, loving the summer. Surely even you must like a dip in the lake in this weather Gobi?
too hot for me - but I did enjoy a swim in the lake after work

my classroom was particularly unpleasant today!
lovely run in the sun this evening though
Gutted for them
Flat tyre on the bike, and as I only have the choice of one then it was turbo instead. 1K swim afterwards. Very sad for the ladies team.

good to see that people are actually watching women's football now and it is even mentioned on the news!

Afternoon - another scorcher. 6.5 miles run , core and weights.
A couple of hours on the bike, and it rained, noooo.
Back on it with over 2hrs on the bike this morning
Evening all - weights this morning, bike and swim tonight.
evening
5 mile run this morning and an evening swim for me
Oh, and the new bike is on order, so need to improve to be even good enough to sit on it.
oooh what have ordered?
A Cannondale Slice triathlon bike, safe to say closer to the bottom of the range than the £9K version they popped onto the turbo for sizing purposes.
nice
goodness, can't imagine spending £9k on a bike!
I have costed my TT bike and about 8000
Frame - 4500
Disc - 1850
808 - 700
USE Tula bars - 500
Dura Ace drive train - 500 quid for cassette/ mech/font mech/chain/levers, maybe more

School sports day yesterday, which is the biggest event I have to organise each year, but it went well enough.
Back for a run today - just over 6 miles, or 10K, with 2 x 1 mile intervals.
The intervals were 8:28 and 8:34. I really had to dig deep on the second one. It was tough.
Overall time was a sub-1 hour 10K which is not much slower than my PB. I must be getting faster.
Got randomly high-fived by another runner. First time that's happened.
Off to see Terminator shortly.
Was back in the pool today ahead of a time trial this evening
My period of high volume has been extended into a 3rd week
All good fun

NW - loads of snails this morning
Track tonight, best session in a while. Legs are moaning now.
Grey and drizzly so on the turbo again, then a splash in the pool.
