Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’m doing my best to stick to my new plan of increasing my training a little as the race season gets ever closer. As well as my large scale annual periodisation in which I’m trying something new, I also have a meso-scale pattern within my training where I do a 3 week cycle. This consists of...
I’ve said it plenty of times before, but I like gadgets and tech, and often use them to provide motivation as far as fitness and training is concerned. Be it a GPS enabled watch such as my Garmin 910XT, Virtual Power turbo training such as TrainerRoad or technical socks, I fall for them all and use...
It seems to have been a week or so of re-locating ‘pets’. Last weekend it was relocating the beehives, this weekend, following on from the fish-tank leak it was time to re-locate the aquarium. Now or Never The latest news on the escalation of jobs associated with the fish-tank leak is that the new Aquatlantis Fusion 101...
As regular readers of this weblog will know, I often volunteer as a participant in various studies at the Sports and Exercise Department at Aberystwyth University. Most of these require a fair bit of my time to do but often prove interesting and painful in equal measure. Interesting from a point of view of getting a measure on...
We’ve got a guest post for you today, but one that’s apt as I could certainly do with a nice holiday on a budget. Travelling abroad on a modest budget can seem like a challenge at first, but it’s one well worth taking on. After all, those paid holiday hours should go toward something truly...
After a training morning on Sunday and a Beehive Re-location, our day was still not done as we were off to the Panto in Aberystwyth. One of our Scouts was in the panto so we had originally planned to take to other Scouts along with us and have quite a big party of panto-goers. But...
After a morning of training on Sunday, we had to move a couple of our beehives. The out Apiary in Llandre where we had been keeping them was due to have some building work nearby and the bank that they were on needed some stabilising work carried out in order to allow access to the building...
True to my word of upping the intensity with my training, I did some more hills reps during my Sunday morning run. I had planned to do 6x 2 minute hill reps, but on the first one, the hill I choose only took about 1 minute 39 seconds, so they were going to be a little...
I noticed the other day that the water level in our fishtank was getting lower, after a quick investigation it was clear that it was leaking. There was water down the side of the tank, the wood supporting the tank was discoloured and damp and there were little pools of water on the things below...
I’ve decided to try something completely different this year with my training and do everything back to front as far as the periodisation is concerned. My training has been a little lacking lately anyway and I just don’t seem to have had any ‘oomph’ during training sessions. There’s been nothing in particular, but I just don’t seem...
