Run Plans for Kona
I may not be able to run, but I can still write about it. Improving my run is a key part of my plans for an improved Kona performance this year. Now I’m in the last six weeks of Kona preparation I want to consider my race goals, how close I am currently and what […]
Road to Kona 2010 Week Eight: Extreme Rest and Recovery!
Slightly different format this week there was so little training last week it’s not worth posting the figures. I trained more most days in the run up to the ITU Worlds than the whole of last week. I planned to rest and recover it just ended up going further than intended. I did warn that […]
Road to Kona 2010 Week Seven: Resting and Racing (26/7/2010 – 1/8/2010)
This week’s analysis is a little bit different. There’s not much training to discuss and there’s a good chance you’ve heard enough about the ITU Long Distance World Championship. I promise I’m moving on after this and today’s focus is the relevance of that race for Kona. Week seven began with plans for a hard […]
Road to Kona 2010 Week Six: Failure! (19/7/2010 – 25/7/2010)
Failure! That’s how I feel about the past week. It’s not been what I wanted on a training level at all. Having backed up week after week of solid training I finally have one that falls apart. Plans disintegrate, consistency fails and I yo-yo from solid days that are still a bit too easy to […]
Kona Training Week Five (12/7/2010 – 18/7/2010)
It’s almost redundant to be writing this the day after I posted the diary of my run week. I want to be consistant in reporting my Kona build so I’m going back over now familiar ground. I’ll try to base this more on figures and analysis. Running dominated the week. I learnt a lot about […]
Kona Training Week Four (5/7/2010 – 11/7/2010)
Very much a week of two halves. The first a storming finish to my big week in Lanzarote and the second crashing down to some much needed recovery. I often say how easy it is to plan to keep pushing, but sometimes the body tells you otherwise. Getting back home on Friday was definitely a […]
Kona Training Week Three (28/6/2010 – 4/7/2010)
A training week of two halves. The first in sunny England with great weather, but relatively easy training as I tried to freshen up for the second half in overcast Lanzarote with plenty of hard work. A travel day in the middle cut into my training time, but I still managed to push out the […]
Aerodynamic
That lump sticking out in the wind is me on my race bike taken at Ironman Western Australia. Sure I’m about to have a snack (race photographers always seem to catch me eating or sticking my tongue out), but I’m not going to win prizes for aerodynamics. I’ve not let this bother me over the […]
Kona Training Week Two (21/6/2010 – 27/6/2010)
Second week of training stats and I topped the numbers from week one. Whether big numbers along are a good thing is another matter altogether. Still it was a solid week with some progress made, particularly towards race weight. I’m pretty happy with how things are going with the odd caveat of course, but mainly […]
Kona Training Week One (13/6/2010 – 20/6/2010)
Did I say I wouldn’t post weekly analysis of my training this time round? I lied. Kind of. I’d guess that for most people who read this blog what I do in training is of interest. I don’t want to get bogged down in numbers or end up writing long posts about every detail. Just […]
