Just had an email from our club Prez, 17 Sep there's a cycling event on the Hockenheim Formula One track:
12-hour marathon
36km time trial
or an Everyman group ride.
Might go for the time trial, I've never done one and riding round the race circuit will be different.
walking isn't stressing your aerobic systems, so they dont get damaged and recover stronger. stress-damage-overcompensation is what any kind of physical training is about, be it pumping iron or jogging.
walking simply doesn't achieve any of the benefits you're looking for.
but candy ollier comes out as...

I've had a whole bottle of dry red tonight.
I don't spend all my time on the forum
Walking is pesh. Next up you'll be wearing a pedometer all day and saying I'm fit enough for anything 'cos I did 10,000 steps. O.K. for mortals but not for men/women of iron.

hangovers 1
long run overdue for this week owing to (?due to) hangover. but to be knocked on the head today (work haven't given me the next lot of data, so nothing better to do..)
Avalaf had done one 20k run at Bala but nothing longer.
You don't need to do long runs for the marathon in IM to just get round cause unlike a straight marathon you don't run the whole thing.
Having said that the one thing I'll change in my trianing this year is to add in more running and I plan to run a lot more of the marathon next time.
(not that I come anywhere near sub3 on it's own, let alone off the back of the swim/bike. but i was a little peturbed by CO's projected 80M run pw!)
