06-10-2015 9:01am#1The last time I did this it didn’t work out too well. Hopefully this time I make it to the start line of my target race. :rolleyes:
Target, as most(all) of you know, is IM Copenhagen. Its 6 weeks since I was in a pool, almost 7 since my last training ride and 5weeks since I ran :eek: . And its over three years since I’ve had a race performance I was completely happy with. So I know theres a hell of a lot of work to do in the next 46 weeks. Since my last training log ended I’ve been a busy boy! Married :rolleyes: , tonsils removed
, honeymoon 
, relocate to the otherside of the country :pac: , new sh1t job with loads of travel :mad: , a baby boy , another new much better job with no travel and better money, and lastly buying a new house 
which we’re either moving into next week or the end of the month 
. I’ve tried to race through all of that but I really haven’t performed anywhere close to what I know I can because I haven’t been able to get in the consistent training that’s needed. So fingers and toes are all crossed for life to settle down a little for the next 10 months and I can get some decent training in.
Why log now? I’m not working directly with an overall coach. I have a swim coach who provides the sessions that I do with a group out here. Unfortunately he doesn’t get to see me swim anymore. I have another “coach” who tracks what I’m doing and gives me pointers and I can bounce ideas off him, but no-one giving me a weekly plan to follow and following up that its done. I’m hoping that’s where you guys can help a little. Too many breaks in training due to excessive procrastination and wussing out of the weather in the west. I’ve found it too easy to put-off the long run in particular and never actually getting it done. So please, if you see a gap of a few days (here or on strava) or something I have planned not getting done, please do pull me up on it. So this log is really to keep me more accountable.
This wont be a log of daily updates, nor essay length posts about my weeks training. It’ll be more along the lines of Trigs updates than Dorys or Zicos. But I do intend on updating here at least once a week. Since the Lost Sheep debacle I’ve been on holidays and I’ve been doing a decent amount of Pilates and Yoga as well as seeing a guy about on-going hip/hamstring issues I’ve been having since summer 2014. These are the kind of things I’ve neglected the last few years and really need to keep up so I’ll be mentioning them without going into any detail.
I’m going to be easing very slowly back into training. Plan for the next four weeks is less than 4.5 hours a week SBR and plenty of S&C/house painting to supplement that. 2*30min swims, 2*30min & 1*45min run and a 90min bike each week up to the end of October. I should manage that much anyway
