It's been a while since blogging last. Life has been busy and my desire to tell the world that I'm consistently hitting 10-12hrs of training a week wasn't that high. My fitness is slowly building. I've been trying a slightly different approach to what has worked in the past, with a little more quality on the harder session and taking it a lot easier and shorter on the other session. I can't say that I have seen anything amazing happening, or that I'm materially any faster. It has kept me interested and entertained as I have tried to vary as much as possible the harder session.I'm changing direction a little now to consistent volume and taking the hit on the quality of the harder sessions. With a middle distance race looming in June and an iron distance race at the start of October, I know I need the endurance to get me to the finish line in a reasonable time. The big question I'm asking myself is what can I start to do right now to make a big difference to the iron distance race. With the lessons learned from my preparation for Challenge Roth last year and still a little over 5months to do something, I'm quietly confident I can get close to and maybe set a new pb over 226km.
As always with the longer races the biggest difference can be made on the bike. I was fairly close to my best swim and run form in Roth, but not quite there on the bike. So if I can spin the biking plate whilst maintaining the run and swim in the build up to the middle distance race in June, I will be on the right track. If that is going to be the plan then I need to establish a few baseline markers in all three disciplines from which I be able to monitor progress. Once I've decide which ones I'll let you know.
