Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It’s supposed to be a recovery week this week for me but yesterday’s session was 3x 1 mile repeats with 3 minutes between intervals and the aim was to increase to speed for each mile. I set my Garmin Forerunner 910XT up for the workout, inputting target zones of 6:40 – 6:30 mins/mile for the...
Unfortunately last nights training session didn’t go too well. I decided to join the Ystwyth CC Chain Gang, so turned up at Rhydepennau at the prescribed time, met up without about 30 other cyclists and then we split into 4 groups and started off around the Borth loop. Crash! For a start it was quite a...
Another good day’s training under my belt on Sunday with yet more hill reps. For the last few weeks my Sunday morning run session has consisted of hill reps. I have usually been doing these on the Caer Gybi Climb just outside Machynlleth, but also did some on week on the Climb up the to National...
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...
Sunday was set to be fairly busy day. I started with my usual run and swim in Machynlleth. My training is stepping up a notch at the moment, with slightly less volume but a little more intensity as I move from Base Training into a Strength and Endurance Phase. That meant hill reps on my...
Well, that was a bit of a shock to the system. I replied to a thread on Facebook the other day about cycling and how most people loathe the Turbo Trainer saying that I actually quite like mine. I said something along the lines of It’s more time efficient There’s less to set up and...
I may be an Apple Fan Boy but I’m not referring to the return of Steve Jobs, I’m actually talking about a TrainerRoad workout called ‘Jobs’. It’s one I tried on January 23rd and came away from it annoyed as I didn’t manage to complete it. In fact I came nowhere near. The workout only consists of...
I’ve always said that ‘work’ isn’t good for you and once again I proved it yesterday by tweaking a muscle in my back whilst moving a carpet for someone. I’d been painting and decorating at their house and now had to move an old carpet out of the room so that a new one could be...
It’s a funny thing triathlon training – in some ways it’s a science, in others it’s an art, but whichever way you look at it, training for a triathlon is always a continually evolving experiment. Sometimes the experiment works, everything comes together just at the right time and you peak for the race of your...
Sorry for the lack of posts here recently, but I was busy working all week last week, invigilating exams at the university, so fitting that in with everything else didn’t leave much time for blogging. It also meant that we didn’t really do much other than the normal routine. A Week of Training Tired I did manage...
