Today's Training

[Multiterrainer]

played a game of investigating new paths. Some lead nowhere interesting, others opened up a whole new world to me in my local area. Gave me loads of new possible routes and distances to use. Some I will very much head out on again others I wont go anywhere near.

That's something I do quite often to keep the motivation going...that said today just 5 miles on the same old valley & field paths

13 mile on bike folowed by a 5k round local park.
I fancy a tri but I will have to work on the swimming and the jelly legs when going from bike to running.

There's more bloody cycling on this thread than running!

36 mins yesterday, 35 mins today. It's all crap. I think I should take up cycling....

Very hot over here at the moment. Family over for a week so not much serious training going on. Just 30mins at lunchtime in scorching sun - not my thing this heat

If its good enough for Jebby and Oxo, then I don't mind pushing the pedals if it helps avoid injury.

10 mile road race yesterday done and dusted in 1.19

felt pleased with that as averaged just over 7 and a half minute miling all the way round which is ok for a slow coach like me!!

Will go for a recovery run later on but suprisingly my legs feel really good today - think this running thing is actually starting to work

New mileage week starts today but last week managed to clock up just under 50 admittedly 17 of those were on the Borrowdale recce and my legs took some time to recover

Oxo only pedals because he is inured, not to prevent it.

Something I can never understand aout Mountain bikes is why are so many of them unable to get up hills? Every run I go on I see bikers pushing them!!!!

RR in my experience there are 2 kinds of mountain biker, firstly the ones who are the equivalent of us but on bikes, secondly the ones who just want to go downhill...it'll be mostly the latter you see pushing unless its a ridiculously steep hill. They are also the ones who go to ski resorts in summer and get the ski lift up and 'free wheel' down.
