More books to read! Have ordered a copy of each from amazon on those two. I've kind of neglected any research into cycling better, and generally spin the pedals and keep moving forwards. Are there any good recommendations for cycle training to compete at long distances?
Where i am now i can happily plod along at 14mph ish and do alright over 1 - 1.5 hours but the only plan i have at the moment is to cycle longer, I've not seem many gains from this unlike my swimming and running which both have a fair bit more structure the training plans.

TH .. keep building the base miles and throw in a few hill reps or turbo sessions to build leg strength

This not having a job is great for training, makes paying the mortgage hell, but I'm really quick just at the moment and I've lost weight

Only one i am signed up for is the Dartford Half in July, 2014 is my full IM year. For 2013 i want to do the HIM, a marathon and a century ride.
I did try to sign up for outlaw, but it was sold out, proabably for the best.

Put your name down on the wait list, I'm sure last year they ran one and lots more people got places after all technically speaking you're doing a half and nearly a full anyway, you cando both the century and mara on the IM, just need a bit of swim first - and you posted in the thread so that's an auto commit right there

You could see which one Paddy is doing and do the same?

well i was thinking the pirates own one may be an option, but am still lurking a little longer before i commit to that one. Keep asking when i have a little more confidence i'm sure i'll crack and sign up for one.

Evening all.

Sign up for full Ironman & you will nail the century ride and marathon on the same day

A July half ironman ties in nice for Finks full ironman training plan if you do IMUK in August. Wow, too many coincidences here, sounds like your destiny to me

1.2 mile swim in 61 mins tonight, seemed even slower than usual, although i think i buggered up my lap counting. Still, the scenery was quite nice in the pool tonight

Good training everyone. I've had a poor couple of weeks -- nasty cold, then a weekend away with friends (Center Parcs ... good cross training, I suppose).

Getting back to it from today, turbo lunchtime and then a swim, turbo, and night run scheduled for tomorrow. I've got the Trionium Bath Hill Half marathon a week on Sunday, hills and mud.
