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!

Run

Track session with tri club -
3min, 2min, 1min all on 90 sec recovery around 5km pace

Set off too fast (3min/km) settled down into 3m30sec/km pace which is probably my 5km pace. Calf still sore from the 5km on Saturday. I am in that dangerous zone where my fitness enables me to run fast but my running specific strength has not kept up - I could easily pick up a nasty injury so need to work on this.


Next session needed is the long swim - just looked at plan - it says 8km! I hope I can find a pool that's open long enough.
