Contemplating Another Training Camp
As I slowly recover from my time in the Pyrenees, I also start to speculate on organising an early season camp for 2013.

An addendum to yesterday’s post on analysing Ironman power data as I attempt to factor course profiles into the process.
The Basics of Ironman Power Analysis
A chart heavy overview of the analysis I apply to Ironman power data in order to better understand race performance.
Thirty Days of Running, Thirty Days On
The aftermath of thirty days of running – finally some run fitness. But it’s only the start.

“It isn’t always like this.” A new form of training camp, a strange hybrid with a holiday where I relax and enjoy stress free training.
