This was last weeks training and nutrition… Not a lot of training and too many calories to bother counting :) Post race it was time for some R&R&R. Relaxing, resting and rewarding. I was a good boy for 20 weeks after all! It began with the absolute best BBQ I have ever had. Post [...] If you read my blog you know what happened last year. This year had to be better, there is no way it could be worse. After waiting a year, laying down a solid 20 weeks of training it was time for redemption at Rev3 Knoxville HalfRev and I got it. No kicks, crashes, craps or [...] With training complete it is always nice to look back at what you have done over the past weeks. It is nice to see the progress and a confidence booster heading into the race. The data in TrainingPeaks takes it a bit further and allows you to dive deeper into what those numbers mean. First [...] The week of lasts is here. Last long swim (4500y) is on Wednesday, last long run (20KM) is Thursday and last long bike (100KM) is Saturday. Then it is taper time. I have a love/hate relationship with this week. It is a relief that some well deserved rest and recovery is on the horizon, fitness [...] Yeah I know it is April but today was like Christmas for me.

I have to say it was a wise investment and I look forward to training with power going forward. Why? For one thing it is [...] Last week was a tough week. Bike Lactate Threshold test, 5KM race, longest brick of the program. But with less than 4 weeks until race day I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is the last big week, then a more moderate week and then a two week [...] I wasn’t going to write a race report. It was a small local race, it was “only” 5KM and it was a speed run more than anything else. Then I came in second in my AG. I haven’t been on a podium in 20 years and that deserves a race report. The last time I [...] It’s hard to see the name but that pile next to the arrow is mine :) A while back I cleverly devised the term TY, as it training year. Well Q1 of TY12 came to a close today and analysts are pouring over the data. Fitness is rising as training has exceeded expectations. Alright enough of that :) 15 weeks down, 5 weeks to go before Knoxville and things are looking [...] |
