HaHaHa nice ones Mark and Nick. SWMBO LOL
Well done Mark, and at 52 :thumbup: I'm just a nearly burnt out 44 yo.
Cmon, most folks on here dont do training, thats cheating. Its just a lifestyle choice, something you do all the time because you enjoy it. :wink:
Until this year and finally getting some recovery frailty, I was on my road bike most evenings too. Would always tell the poor chump i'd just pipped he was beat by a cyclist LOL
My 'plan' is same as yours Nick FFS LOL, race long and offroad most weekends if I can. Summer is IronMan Tri season. I did 20 last year FFS, ten of which being winning the EnduroMan DecaIron, is that loopy enough for you!!! Yes, I'm terminally competitive. So the obvious Q to Mark is: Wot woz your time, I woz 2.58.37. I have trained zero on road, just the odd bits of trail races that are on road.
Hike I was 6h47, tho this was far from my best effort for a change, I usually get lucky.
As I'm getting more burnt out from the self inflicted abuse, my current 'training' has been an ultra or trail mara on the weekend, then being feqed most of the week, maybe an hours or two's recovery run on Weds or Thurs before repeating the cycle!
