Iron Distance 2012 Training Thread

Hamstring strain. Bollox!

rest, ice, compression and elevation

have to admit the on the commute this morning could feel a slight pull in the groin

The Eirias was a tough event. Take it easy, Tenby is the goal.

Tried one legged squats today, would hae been funny to watch!

Thats sounds a bit hardcore Mufin!!

Perhaps we should have a One LeggedSquat Winterleague  

Not sure there would be a very big league table for one legegd squaters. Although much less pauinful than a timed 400m swim.

My core needs some serious work (just in case I do another)

I didnt find the 400 too bad ... perhaps I should try harder? 


One legged squats on the other hand ....   (or leg)

Just me out today then ??   


Swim for an hour and 2 hrs on the mtb ... perfick !

Living the dream eh Donna ??    

Lovin' the Donna name change.

It had to be done ... I cant take credit for someones typos tho   

8 mile very hot and humid run for me last night last, groin felt OK

can still feel Eirias in my legs, but have a 100mile sportive on Saturday

After spraining my bad ankle on friday playing football.. I have had to come to the decision that 2012 is a total wipeout in terms of running and triathlon.

Check this for a year... I think I should win some kind of worst season of the year award! These are only the events I had planned on entering and had paid for most of them

Feb:                 Ballbuster Duathlon - DNF
                         Saucony 10k - 35:09 (pb)
March:             Endurer Obstacle Race - DQ
April:                Thames Turbo Triathlon - DNS
                         London Marathon - DNS
May:                Thames Turbo Triathlon - DNF
                         Sheffield Half Marathon - DNS
July:                 Outlaw - DNF

(And most probably)

August:           Thames Turbo Triathlon - DNS
September:   Gunnersbury 10k - DNS
                        Ealing Half Marathon - DNS

Either that or a new ankle!! I have been so motivated this year which has been the annoying thing... and have been faster than I could have ever imagined I would be!

I sort of fell into triathlon from running which came after football as I was getting injured to much
