Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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...
I’ve been trying to fit some training in during the Christmas period, despite not having a structured plan to follow. I have also been trying to spend plenty of quality family time with Anna and Morgan so have spent lots of time out walking in the hills, geocaching in the woods and strolling on the beach....
Hyper-gravity Training? What’s that. Well, it’s just a silly term applied to training of any sort whilst carrying extra weight. The idea being that the extra weight and therefore extra work you are doing by carrying that weight whilst, running, cycling, or even doing household chores means that you burn more calories per hour whilst...
It’s that time of year again, time to look back over the past 12 months and see how we’ve done. Once again, I’ve had a good year as far as Triathlons go. This was my 3rd year back into the sport and my 2nd year training properly. 2012 had been a good year but I really...
As promised in my recent blog post about the “Keys to Consistency in Triathlon Training” I was going to go into more details about some of the main points I thought had helped. These were: Changes to my diet, A few well chosen supplements, A strength and conditioning program specifically targeting injury prevention, Regularly changing...
I’ve had a fairly good year this as far as triathlons go. I’ll write a full annual summary soon, but I became European Champion in my Age-Group in June and then made the top ten in the world in my age-group at the London World Championships in September. So, I’d consider that fairly successful. There...
I’ve always been a fairly good swimmer, at least, as far as I can remember I have. I don’t remember really ever having had any proper coaching though or going to a proper swim club when I was younger. Somehow I just picked it up as I went along, trained hard here and there and...
You may remember me posting about my PMC Chart earlier in the year, saying that all was going well as I built towards a peak ready for my first race. The data from this gives me an overview of my training and charts my levels of ‘Fitness’, ‘Freshness’ and ‘Training Stress’. The plan for any race is...
The qualifying events for the 2014 ITU Age-Group World Championships and the 2015 ETU Age-Group European Championships have just been published. You can see them here: http://www.triathlonengland.org/britain/documents/events/2014_events/2014_british_age-group_championships_and_gb_qualifiers.pdf As usual. the qualifiers for the World Champs take place in the same year, so the qualifying events for the 2014 World Champs are in 2014, with the World Champs...
Day 2 in London and it was supposed to be a busy one with team briefings, race registration, equipment checks, a possible bike course recce and bike racking. We were hoping to fit some sight-seeing in as well. Luckily I had managed to register the day before so that was one less thing to do. We left...
