Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just a quick little video clip using Ascent to compare my two recent runs around a hilly loop that I do. The blue dot and lower graph represent my run on June 27th 2012 where I beat my personal best for this route by a massive 2 mintes and 5 seconds with a time of...
I think one of the reasons that many people don’t do things such as triathlons is that they have a fear of failure. It’s hard to get motivated at the best of times, but if on top of that you think you won’t be able to do it then for many people there just isn’t...
As you may know from a previous post, I’ve been doing a weekly time trial on my bike as a way of improving my bike splits and testing my performance. I was due to do the time trial again today and wanted to try out my new aero helmet as well to see if it...
It was only a matter of time. I’ve already blogged about my faster shoes for triathlons and the go faster purple power potion, so now its time to get aero! Everyone said that I looked a little out of place at the Big Cow Triathlon as the athletes I was racing against had full-on aerodynamic...
I’ve just received my Team GB Kit. All the elite athletes seem to be posting photos of themselves in their Team GB kit ready for London 2012, so I thought I join in. Mine might not be quite such a prestigious event, and rather than having my photo taken by a professional photographer in a studio I...
Wow, that was quite a run, I was smashing records all over the place. Wednesday morning seems to be my day for a long hilly run. Not that long in comparison to what some people do, but long enough for me. As the nearest hills are about 4 miles from here, I tend to drive...
You may recall my recent post about Beetroot Juice for Triathletes and how the high level of nitrates in natural, organic, healthy beetroot juice can improve athletic performance. I’ve been drinking it for a while now and have developed quite a taste for it. I actually look forward to my delicious glass of beetroot juice with...
Wednesday morning was just made for running. No wind, 10°C when I set out, warming to over 15°C by the time I got back with clear skies and some lovely sunshine. I was supposed to do a 70 minute hilly run going faster up and over the hills and that’s exactly what I did. Not...
As noted in a recent post I’ve decide that I need to work on my cycling to improve my triathlon performances. So, over the next 4 week a key workout is a Time Trial session on the bike that I shall do once a week. It’ll involve 2 circuits of the Borth Loop. The first part...
After analysing my performance in the Big Cow Triathlon I decided once again that I need to improve my cycling. The Big Cow Triathlon was the British National Age-Group Championships and I placed as follows in each discipline: Swim: 4th Bike: 19th Run: 5th Total: 6th As you can see, it was the bike leg...
