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

Warm up 10mins
4 x 20min x 250W on 10min recovery
10min x 250W 5min recovery
2.5min x 250W 2.5min recovery
2.5min x 250W

The plan today was to add an extra set onto the 20min intervals at 250W to make 5. I got to 10min into the last and fatigue came from nowhere. I then planned to break the remaining time into smaller chunks and stopped when I thought there was no point taking anymore medicine. I must admit though looking down at the timer with it saying 2hr30 made me think that's enough time on the turbo.

The heart rate data was higher than last time
Today's was blue (red was on the 1st april) probably due to treadmill on Thursday and core yesterday. Time for a rest/easy day. 

The interesting thing was getting leg fatigue with the heart rate still at reasonable levels - this feels like very specific training for endurance events.
