21st April is the St Georges Cyclosportive in Princes Risborough .. I have just had the email through, not done it so I dont know where it is but I suspect that that will be the weekend for the Whitehorse
So when im sweating my proverbials off on May18th, I will look back on this weekend and think how usefull my training was, having frozen my aforementionables on the bike saturday and then had a freezing run that developed into a swim on sunday
Bad luck Slag ... I tore mine about 8 years ago now and still suffer, you can manage it but you need to be very strict with yourself but its by no means the end of the road
I tore a calf in preparation for my first IM. You can work around it and focus on the other elements but you must do your stretches etc. Assuming you've seen someone about this, Slag, and that they have given you exercises to make it better?
Nothing but a couple of swims for me this week ... Have kept my foot strapped up and barely walked anywhere ... Was killing me again yesterday but seems much much better today . Seeing a sports physio at weekend for an opinion though. Swellings gone down a fair bit today as well so may not be anything too serious after all. May still be on for that podium finish
It's mind numbing isn't it .., I think the most I've managed in terms of pool laps is 120 .
In other news .. My achilles problem .. Isn't.. Seems it's a muscle tear in the lower calf .. Couple of weeks off running and I'm allowed to try it out on some short runs

I liked barley's one from his double prep a year or so ago....
That sounds grand, if you can find it?
And talking of cycling.....
*powers down laptop*
Dependant on the dates for the Whitehorse I shall be in ... 21st April would be good, Brighton marathon the weekend before that
Good idea OC....if only we knew someone who was good at lists and may have had some idea what Sportives Barley was doing.......???
oooh a sportive list is a great idea
OC -Is this what you were meaning?

Yes, according to the website, it is.

I think I can safely say I will be spectating at the C100 whichever the date is !!

Great news.. at least i now have a good reason why i am not on timetable with my running .. knackered my right achilles .
Bad luck Slag ... I tore mine about 8 years ago now and still suffer, you can manage it but you need to be very strict with yourself but its by no means the end of the road
Bad luck Slag - but i've knackered my left ankle - maybe we could enter as a three-legged race??
i've knackered my left knee too......

Hope the physio has some good news for you Slag!
Thanks Raf ... should have an answer on that in a few hours ...
Can't bear the thought of doing up to 3800m in the pool!!

I have found a programed swim sessions really helps keep the boredom down
ie today i had
warm up 200m
8 * 50 m fast
3 * 400m cruise
8 * 50m fast
400m cool down
As a result I am not there to swim 2600m, but only the next 400m. Makes it a lot more bearable.
My latest knee issue looks to be way overtight quads pulling the kneecap in places it should not be. time to get the roller out
I did a 45 minute turbo session today - can I taper now?
You're now deemed overtrained, Melds
Quite agree Schmunks, as I've said before.......
Feck right off !!!!
I ran today .... and I shall swim tomorrow, thats almost a triathlon
Cycle to the pool and you have done a backward Tri
Did my first long ride on Sunday, 50miler! It's a start
50 miles is more than a start ... thats good mileage at this time of the year, keep them ticking over for the next few months and you'll be laughing
