Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Well, I was hoping not to have any excuses for my first race of the season – the Pwllheli Triathlon on Sunday – but as usual, I do! first up, I’m not really treating this as a particularly important race and will therefore simply be training right through it. No tapering beforehand and no real...
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...
In an attempt to improve my triathlon performances I’ve been working with a coach and I’ve been trying to follow a periodised training plan this year. Periodisation There are plenty of quite large books that go into great depths about periodisation in triathlon training (one of the best being Joe Friels “The Triathlete’s Training Bible“....
After an enforced break from triathlon training last week in preparation for a CPK Levels blood test on Tuesday, I was immediately back to it and raring to go. Tuesday Straight after the blood-letting at the hospital it time for an hour or hard core circuit training followed by an hour of swimfit. Wednesday Wednesday...
Triathlon Training I’m taking my triathlon training a little more seriously this year. I’ve been following a sensible training plan and have just about finished a winter ‘Base Phase’ of training. With my coach we’d been gradually increasing the volume of training over the past couple of months and I’m now just beginning to increase...
I haven’t posted any training reports here for a while, but I’ve just got back from a nice hilly lunch time run so thought I’d share it today. I’m having quite a hard training week this week. I started back at circuits and swimfit last night after a break for Christmas. I actually missed a...
Autumn is here and winter is definitely on its way, but we still managed to get a decent group of us out for an open water swim in Clarach this morning. Despite the dark dingy start to the day, complete with some rain for good measure, I met Amanda, Graham, Sharon and Mel in Clarach Bay. After...
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...
I competed in the Shrewsbury Triathlon yesterday and had a great day out. This was the first time that the Shrewsbury Triathlon Club (Sy TRI) had organised the event, but they had thought of everything. They had a good setting for it, good swim, bike and run routes and from my point of view everything...
I’ve been thinking about the idea of barefoot running for a while and was recently lent a book called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. It’s an inspirational and eye-opening book about a tribe of long distance runners from Mexico and a group of elite ultra-distance runners from around the world. They don’t all run...
