I dont tweet my taining but I do log it on fetch which is linked to face book so everyone can see my training.

I failed miserable today, between work and asthma, it has been zero chance, so rest day it was tomorrow swim and run(well elipticle trainer)

Sulking

I normally train before school so having a cold/cough is not good when it's 0 or less even at Z2 and lots of walking. Can't convert to evenings as I'm coughing more than during the day! FFS

School trip to the National Space Center with 60 germ ridden year 8s tomorrow and  thursday

The way this week is going I'll end up with almost 2 weeks without training.

ST 4 weeks? no training? *gulp*

Mind you it solves my problem about Fink 'cos I'll be back to square 1 at this rate anyway so 15mins will be fine!

stanners..i don't do the swim sessions...i just swim and do the time suggested..........so I did an hours swim for sesion 33.and hopefully it will get easier and quicker

I tend to do my own thing when swimming, but I don't think I could finish those sessions in the time.

Same here, Stanners - couldn't manage 12 x 100m - could only fit in 8, but was happy with that. Thought about dropping to the Just Get Round swimming sets, but my pride won't let me!!

New experience keeping to a HR zone - got beeped at a lot at first, but managed to keep it to a level after a while. Can't say I liked the knee pain after 20 min, though - thought it'd go off, but have never been more glad to get to the end of a run ... hope its one of those flash in the pan things, not something real 

@the_evil_pixie

Still crock

1 week no training

sleeping worse now

fed up

sulking

wanna play

Today's cross training is a yr 8 (12 yr olds) trip to the Space Center in Leicester - to be repeated on Thursday - deep joy

Day 2 isn't going to be good.

Up til 2pm at hospital with grandchild and now feeling so tired can't imagine swimming later plus obviously still children to look after

Not on twitter or facebook - log all my training in excel. Soz chaps

Day 1, swim and run tick

Day 2 bike (read turbo) and run tick

Have spinning tonight for an hour then I'll do some core work at home.  Enjoying it so far although I do have to talk myself into getting out of bed.

The swim sets are tough to fit in the 1 hour  time. My advice would be use as a guide, certainly the drills are good but I found the interval structure complicated and dull. I ended up doing my own stuff but I did spend many an hour as a junior swimming so fell back on a lot of that knowledge.

Coach Gordo said some good stuff last year on IM talk, he encourages 'zombie swims' ie. just get in the water and swim especially as recovery sets or to just put the time in.

Hi All

I rested like a trooper on day 1 - It was interesting having a rest day on the first day but it helped remind me that rest days are for rest and recovery and you should actually rest no matter how much you want to just go on a quick run etc.

Today I struggled out of bed to be honest but once up and running was pleased to be out and about. I ran the mile to my local pool and had a go at swim set #'33 - I must admit I'm not used to doing drills so I don't know how beneficial my fist drills would have been and I felt a bit silly pounding at the water with closed fists but the rest of the swim felt good and I was suprised with the distance I managed to cover. I got 2300m of the 2500m planned in the hour I had and only missed the cool down (which I replaced with the run home) My new swim mp3 player was awesome too (didn't feel bored at all) (even though it can get a bit distracting at times)

I will do my 30min zone 2 run after work with my girlfriend (to prove that we'll still get to do things together despite iron distance training)

How much fun is Fink ?

Well, Im on target with the first day - managed to do that one without injuring anyone .  Im behind schedule now, having slipped up by not bringing my costume and towel ( and I pressume buff isnt a designated costume at the local pool )

looking forward to my run tonight.  Its getting posted on my fb profile via the nike+ app.  have @mammothadams, but hate twitter so its all autofed tri news. might catch a glimpse of me going for a run.   Will have to look into fetch? not sure I can be arsed to update several things to confirm Ive not done the training I should.  *( I use a calendar to remind me what session is due on the day, and the forum to blag about it, fb via nike+, bike will be a turbo so Need to get a discipline around that and im thinking hard about tracking my food as Ive got to drop 6stone ( 84lbs ) to make the lycra fit and the event not life threatening.  )

45min z2 tonight for me, as ive built up the endurance a little already and Im keen to keep it flowing.  BIKE is where ive been too sloppy. swimming is OK, my runnin g needs a little pace - which is what dropping 6stone will do

anybody else using nike+ ?  I tried mapmyrun but its too complicated. ( or im too thick as it skipped half of my run on the test )

Z2 30min run done, that's day 2 done and dusted, apart from a session on the foam roller tonight.

Zombie swim, like the idea of that IronMuffin. My zombie will definately be the slow, dordling type. Not the freakishly fast type ala 28 Days Later
