Right... time to get back on the horse!
I've been ticking along with training since Mallorca, eating too many sweets and struggling a bit with weight + injury (tight hamstrings - now feeling good after various physio/massage treatments). But am ready to dedicate again now.
Focus is Olympic Distance National champs on 10th Aug, then 70.3 World Champs in Canada on 7th Sept. I have a training camp in Morzine between the two (21st-26th Aug) which should set me up nicely for Canada.
I managed a reasonable 5.6k (19mins, off road) at the JP Morgan challenge last weekend with a few 33/34min 10k guys around me at the finish.. so I'm in some kind of shape (despite being 80kg+ on the line).
Also been enjoying long weekend runs (up to 1hr 45) and steady 15k's in the week so planning to keep those 60min standard sessions around the speed work.
Planning to do start with 2k's next Thurs. So thinking I might do a 'fun' version tonight: 5x2k with 2-3 mins rest (stole idea from your FB...
) as it's been so long since I was on the track.
