Morning all - turbo this morning, foggy start but looks like another sunny day. Finally finish a tender I have been working silly hours on today so back to proper SOC sessions next week.
Run / commute in today. New tyre and pump should arrive today. Psc I was pumping the tyres as hard as I could get them so no idea of actual psi so ordered a new pump with gauge. Kate putting my gator skin on front and I think I have ordered the same tyre as you have. Fingers crossed these things should help.
Have to admit years ago working on a particular industrial estate my ninja had 3 non repairable flats due to nails or screws in a two month period. I must of paid around four hundred pounds to get new tyres plus fitting .
Gobi: I just remember what my racing weight was and how it suited me. I dunno if it is a correct figure. I do remember reading a fair bit about it in Frank Horwill's column in the British Miler Clubs newsletters right enough
Birky, if you're going for racing weight does this mean a race on the horizon? Charles, there is usually a 4 or 5 or at least a 6 at the start of the time for the SOC brigade. Good run, slow swim tonight, one day it might all come together.
Believe it or not I'm not drinking this week, 20 mike race on Sunday and I'm so badly prepared I'm taking desperate measures. Sunday afternoon might get a bit wobbly though! Turbo again this morning, another beautiful day but the heating was broken on my train so my fingers are struggling to type through the cold.
160psi. Jeepus. I run my TT at 130 and thought that was hard. I lower them a bit in the rain to give me more contact with the road. There is a school of thought that says run then lower 90-100 but that's when punctures seem to happen to me so tend to stay 100+.
Morning all - lots of bike geek chat going on here. 3 mile run done, was supposed to be my usual pre race shake out where faster tha race pace feels easy but instead it was a struggle. Out on the bicycle now. Good luck park runners, TTers and have a great holiday Jo.

Wow. Kudos to all the 4.xx runners. I'm sure I'd have to buy a new alarm clock for that. I'm not sure mine has that on it.
Hello everyone
Foggy this morning, but turned out to be a lovely bright day. 5 miles this morning but had to walk for some of it
Having been up before 0500 today I am off to the velodrome for some high end intervals.

Where did that old post come from?
Weird
Kate, Did it come from the bottom of a wine glass That's where most of mine come from after 7pm

This is me this morning, Jan 2nd I was 12st 6(80kgs) now (11st) 70kgs
Easy day today with just 30 mins on the rollers to loosen off at 630 this morning and will jog later.
morning
nothing yet today, road was closed coming home from swimming so I had a long diversion then struggled to sleep
will probably turbo tonight if I can persuade OH to cook while I do it
Another day of missed runs yesterday. 14 hours work put paid to that.
Off to the big smoke today. I feel like a tourist.
Morning you lot
What:45mins steady on a dreich Friday morning with smiry rain.
Working 11pm Sat -7am Sunday again.
Kate: Possibly a race on the horizon. Mid you I have a competition with the scales once a week
Gobi: It'd mean I can get into my 1980s racing kit. Think they are back in fashion again
Coffee and catch up time
Listening to 'Mull Of Kintyre' by Paul McCartney. This is just a random song from my childhood that I like again at the moment !

Enjoyed the cycling on eurosport yesterday. It's a cracking channel for the road racing which I'm now a big fan of.
Long run later... Food first! Have fun peeps.
