I haven’t posted for a little while.. well.. a long while.

I’ve actually been busy training!

I’ve booked my ‘A’ race for the year – the Big Cow ‘Cow Man’ Middle Distance 70.3, which has really spurred me on with a definite goal. To help me out I’m working from Ash & Penker’s “Ironman 70.3 – Training for the middle distance”. Currently I’m hitting my 8-9hr a week training target, mostly base building runs and a lot of swimming. Not so much cycling so far, but that’ll start up soon and take over as the evenings get lighter.

13mi base building run
Running for 02:11:04
13.11 mi @ 10:00 min/mi

The week usually looks something like this at the moment

Monday – Lunchtime swim / Evening Spin class
Tuesday – 5mi run home (Tempo / Fast / Cross country, T3-4)
Wednesday – Rest
Thursday – Morning run (T2), Lunchtime/Evening Swim
Friday – Either a Bike/Run brick in the gym or weights
Saturday – Morning swim
Sunday – Long run (T3)

I’ve bought a couple of bits to help with my middle distance goal – and I’ll try and cover those in some short reviews soon.
