Welcome

I started this blog in 2010 when there were 11 weeks to go before my next Ironman triathlon. People have found it interesting (mainly my Mum!) so I continue to write.
The Ironman is a long distance triathlon; Swim 2.4miles, Cycle 112miles, Run 26.2 miles (marathon). I have competed in one every year since 2004. I hope this blog can help others see what is involved. I find the process of writing it makes me more accountable and motivates me to do the harder sessions when i'm not feeling like it!

Turbo

Great session today - another attempt at last weeks session which I couldn't complete. It took some improvisation half way through as I had asked too much. Success with it today though.

4 x 5min x 300W x 65rpm on 5mins recovery

The lower cadence (65rpm) here makes this a "strength endurance" session - basically like hill training.

I think this is the hardest i've ever worked in one of these sessions - it was certainly as much mental as physical. I heard someone say today that the ideal progression should be harder every week but feel slightly easier - i've yet to find that sweet spot.
