Seren...
If I'm in, do you want to race.....?
I'll be off the bike first but will be 50-50 run walking the marathon on no run training so you can hunt me down!

If you had to hop it i think you would beat me OC..........but bring it on.....

I've had the best 5 weeks of training ever.........if i can get another 25 like this i will whip your arse OC

I am glad you are enjoying it.
Aerobic training is hard because of the volume not the intensity. if you enjoy it then getting the volume in at z2 brings lots of rewards as you can get massively fit from it.

One of the major problems is having a low boredom threshold.
It takes time to do the consistent training, and it takea time for tje rsults to start to show....

I like the idea of no zeros...(found it in the recent endurance corner book)
Ie instead of aiming to see how much training you can do, concemtrate on not missing any - ie do something every day.
Not sure how that fits with 1 day off a week for recovery, but you get the idea...

Off  to do a different park run today......will run it with my OH and then he will run home to make up his long run...he understands me wanting to get the sessions in as he always gets his running sessions in

Week 5 done and dusted with 2 bikes combined into 1 (bike to town, faffage, bike home!) and 1 long swim instead of 2 short ones. (1m in 30mins is never gonna happen so 1hr swum!)

Next week sees the 1st of the brick sessions and ice/snow predicted. I see plenty of turbo time and trail shoes on pavements for more grip! I will get 2 swims in this week

EP - see, your training has picked up already

My base started 3 weeks too late after illness and idleness.

Oh well, best make the most of what we've got left.
13/01/2013 at 15:08

Scary indeed.  I had planned to start a few weeks in and repeat some of the early weeks, but thanks to bubonic plague I'm back to following the plan as it's written.  No bad thing, it's quite enough of a challenge as it is.

better to get the illnesses over and done with early...........

13/01/2013 at 18:08

More than halfway through base training?! Oh goodness, I was starting to get used to training and week 6 already....You're right Seren, positive thing about being injured now is that hopefully I'm getting it over with and will be okay to walk the mara!

How you guys getting on with the weather?

Only had swimming and gym this week so far with a trainer ride tonight.  My plan has a 2 hr run and a 3hr bike at the weekend which should be fun.  No way can I spend 3hrs on the turbo.

Hagakure...........I have bben thinking about this and thinking that maybe I can do 3 x1 hour sessions instead of a single session...get up and eat and maybe sleep and then force myself back onto it.....

17/01/2013 at 20:31

Swimming was cancelled tonight so ive missed both sessions this week due to weather, dissapointed with myself. kept up with the running and cycling though.

How about doing a long brick turbo session if not nice enough to ride outside this weekend something like 1hr turbo 30 run and repeat twice?
