Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As we were in Bristol for the weekend I decided to take my biking and running kit and meet up with Jay, Brad and Mike for a little ride and run around the Bristol Triathlon course. Brad, Mike and myself will be doing the Bristol Triathlon in July so we thought it would be good...
The weather has been terrible here since Christmas, but we really wanted to get Morgan out for a decent ride on his new bike. We had a quick spin around Nant yr Arian on it on Boxing Day and he’d been over to the beach on it, but really needed an easy, long ride to...
Saturday was a pretty miserable day here. It was also the first of the winter rides with the Triathlon Club and seeing as people in the club seem to think I’m a little mad and the sort of person who is up for anything, whatever the weather, I thought I’d better show willing. I don’t...
The triathlon club that I’m a member of organise several training events each week, one of them being an occasional, informal time trial around the Borth Loop. I decided to join in with this last night. It was the first time I’d done it and it is very informal. There were only five of us, Alison,...
Cycling helmets all look fairly similar and their primary job is to protect your head in the event of a crash. Thanks to British Standard safety regulations they all therefore provide at least a certain level of protection so you can be assured that safety levels are fairly similar from the cheapest £25 helmets right through to...
This seems to be becoming something of a recurring theme for me… I sign up for a race, prepare badly, get injured and always have plenty of excuses before the big day. This time it’s no different but everything is a little more exaggerated than normal. First up, for some reason at the end of last year I decided...
The torn ligaments in my ankle have been driving me nuts. Actually, to be more accurate it’s the inability to get out training that’s driving me nuts so the other day I decided to try an easy session on the turbo trainer. The idea was that if it did hurt too much I could easily...
I’ve barely ever been to Shropshire properly before but we’ve just got back from a lovely weekend camping just outside of a little village called Marshbrook, not far from Church Stretton in the Shropshire Hills. We were there to do the CRC MTB-Marathon on Sunday (more on that in another post) but as part of...
One of the good things about having someone else write a training plan for you is that it gets you out doing things you might otherwise not have done. Last week it was pounding up and down the cliff path doing running hill reps. This week it was more hill reps, but on my bike. The prescribed session was...
