My name is Ridgebackmax and I need to get my finger out and post more on the pirate forum again
Seren - I reckon I'll just need to stop a couple of times to fill up my bottle and once for a loo stop, at least I'll get chance to stretch my back
Cougie - I'm a bit of a saddo - I actually enjoy sitting on a turbo for hours (with Zwift for company). I'd do the IM distance on a turbo if they let me
.
Rain and thunderstorms forecast for Venice this weekend
Do you have a bionic backside? I really struggle with anything over 2hrs on the turbo, despite the number of gadgets (zwift / trainerroad) I throw at it.
DaylightR - let's say it's well padded
Molly - how did the clipping in thing go? Have you practised?
That's how she does long turbo sessions HC.....she can't unclip yet......
HC - I had a go, I was sweating like a pig trying to build up the courage to set off. I had a few false starts. Once I got going I was fine ...and unclipped about 300 yards before I wanted to stop.
MC - exactly why I do long turbo sessions, no unclipping and no traffic
This week I've done one big gear session, and one interval session.... I've done a couple of hard runs...not long, but fast (for me) where I've had to tell myself to MTFU and keep going.... and today, I got a packet of crisps out, and then put them back and got an apple instead.... win the battles to win the war!
So come on folks...lets hear the success stories!!!!
Well I have just booked a swim with epic events in Derwent water this Sunday
that's a plus for me actually doing some swimming
errrrm...
Had a bottle of wine with the Mrs last night, I missed training Mon due to BH laziness, Missed training on Tue due to work, only did half my turbo last night.
I'm going backwards. Really need to start filling my sock...
This week I have been cycling up and down mountains in Mallorca - my sock runneth over
Bike is work in progress, as is the swim part. Did swim in the lake Monday night. Very choppy because of the wind, but I persevered and completed 3,000m.
Ran a PB marathon on Saturday, so at the moment thinking positively and have a wee bit of confidence in myself that I might be able to complete Outlaw - IF I can meet the bike cut off.
Not bought so many sweets or biscuits, but still consuming more than I would like.
Weight has gone down but that's because I've not been eating properly recently. Planning to get into a proper healthy way of eating will be done next week.
I am back on the training wagon..active recovery means doing something everyday ....for at least a week....
saturday was parkrun,, sunday an ulktra in the lakes... Monday a few miles walking around liverpool, Tuesday a slow run with club.. wednesday a swim in the river and today will be an offroad run with club....havent trained this much since january
....or since you smashed Lanza! That was the longest training day you've had this year Seren
My name's Bobs Your Father, and I need to sort out some things...
1) Fix my bathroom scales, as they are obviously broken, and still showing me as being just North of 17 stones.
2) Fix my bike, which is moving far too slowly.
3) Buy new trainers, as my running is shocking.
4) I'm not even going to talk about swimming.
Following the pattern of 1-3, couldn't you just buy some new googles? Current ones must clearly be faulty and slowing you down
Cracking idea DaylightR.
That way I have to take no responsibility for my own laziness!
One a serious note, I only have to do 2 things - eat less and train more. Now, where is that sock?
LOL BobYF
Much of my intended training in the last few days has been derailed by the appalling weather in the far SE just when I actually had a bit of time off........but riding in 40mph+ winds is not for me!!
However I have run twice including a 4 mile R/W (but mostly run) up on the cliffs at Dover this morning.......apparently it's the longest run I've done since I bought my new garmin.....
Garmin 201 ??
1. Gym 3 x per week
2. Run 3 x per week
3. Start biking and swimming for pleasure again
4. Get on board with low carb high fat nutrition (feel loads better on that protocol)
5. Get more sleep
6. Drink more water - I think I'm in a permanent state of dehydration
That's it.
On the food front, tonight I've had a big steak dinner with Stilton and mushroom sauce washed down with a bottle of red wine. Woops how did that happen?
Parkrun and a bike ride tomorrow
Well that looks like a pretty good plan Lee. The first thing to success is making things habitual. Steak with stilton and mushroom sounds like the prefect HFLC meal
bloody hell Mallowpuff - salad? what was with it?
