Welcome

I started this blog in 2010 when there were 11 weeks to go before my next Ironman triathlon. People have found it interesting (mainly my Mum!) so I continue to write.
The Ironman is a long distance triathlon; Swim 2.4miles, Cycle 112miles, Run 26.2 miles (marathon). I have competed in one every year since 2004. I hope this blog can help others see what is involved. I find the process of writing it makes me more accountable and motivates me to do the harder sessions when i'm not feeling like it!

Turbo

30min warm up
5min 300W 90rpm
Cool down

Strength training
-see injury prevention page

Over the past few weeks I have been wondering about the strength side of things. There has been lots of volume (distance and time) but little strength work. This was as much about seeing where I was far enough away from the event for it to not to be deleterious. It also meant I could continue to back things off in a different way following the ankle injury which seems to be OK.

The turbo went well as did the strength work - so a boost to the morale.

I'll put the strength exercises in the injury prevention page.
