Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I haven’t written much about my triathlon training lately… Not because I haven’t been doing any but mainly because I haven’t had time to fit much blogging in. What with my new job in the Sports and Exercise Department at the University (something else I need to blog about), some painting and decorating jobs that...
Following my catastrophic chaffing from a turbo trainer session the other day I haven’t really been able to sit on the bike, so yesterday I went for an early run instead. It was blowing a gale and pouring with rain and barely light when I headed out, but I had it ion my mind to...
Morgan seems to be quite into running at the moment. He has ‘qualified’ for the inter-schools Aberystwyth Area Cross Country race which he’ll be running next week. We’re not sure how far he has to run, probably only a mile at his age, but he seems quite keen. He even wants to do some training...
The summer is drawing to an end, and I’m looking forward to a bit of a rest from hard core structured triathlon training too. The last couple of sessions have felt fairly autumnal and there is definitely a change in the air. I was out swimming in Aberystwyth yesterday evening in what turned out to be glorious conditions. It...
With only 4 weeks to go until the Triathlon World Championships in London it’s almost time to start some speedwork in my training. I have until now been doing mainly strength and endurance work and building up my overall fitness. it’s also time to start working on some race specific training such as Brick session....
What better way to start the day than a hill-reps induced endorphin rush! A 50 minute hilly run was on the training plan and seeing as it is a 20 minute run to the nearest hills I usually drive to the foot of them and run from Borth. My car is in the garage being...
Another busy day yesterday and with such long days I tend to start at around 4:30am as the sunrise wakes me up. It started off with lots of computer work as I have a new website design project that I’m working on. It’s nice to get the creative juices flowing again and I’m quite enjoying...
With just one week to go to what is now my first race of the season it’s time that I was getting into race-shape. I’m not quite there yet though but the Cotswold Super Sprint Triathlon next weekend isn’t an A-priority race, just a bit of a practise race before I head off to Turkey...
Sunday was a nice busy day for us – just for a change! As usual it started fairly early for me at around 6am when I got up, checked e-mails etc. and had some breakfast before heading off to Machynlleth in Anna’s Fiat 500 hire car for a run. My planned session was a fairly easy one...
Who’d would have thought it, after a solid twelve hours under wall to wall sunshine in the garden yesterday, there were some snow flurries on my run this morning! It was pretty chilly out there running around the hills behind Machynlleth but I managed to cover 9 miles up and over a pretty big hill....
