This has been a really tough week mentally. The day after finishing the Marshman I realised just how much I had stuffed up my program by pushing too hard during that race.

With only 54 days until Ironman France the volume of training seems to have ramped up dramatically. When I started this journey I was following my training program

Firstly I need to say a massive sorry to anyone that has been following my progress so far, if there is any one left still reading this. It has been ages since my last post and I am really sorry for that.

I felt tired this week. 13 weeks into my training plan now and 17 to go it seems like a long way to the end. It was a very busy week with work, family and life, so sleep took a back seat

According to my trusty training plan, this week (week 12), was a 'recovery week'. Still managing to cover 9km in the pool, 142km on the bike, and 45km running it felt like a pretty solid training week.

I am actually glad this week is over, the step up in volume and introduction of bricks training has proven to be quite a leap.

10 weeks in and so far so good. This week concluded the base training program I am following from the Ironfit book and means that things are about to get a lot tougher.

Well it wasn't all bad this week, it only ended with the low after what had been a really positive start. I am starting to see a pattern with my training

What a week! Another Christmas done and dusted. I Ate way too much and did far too little training this week, but it has to be done! With 6 months to go the diet officially starts from now

Minus 9! That is what my car told me this morning on the way to work. I can't believe just how cold it is getting, I had hoped that we had seen the last of the snow

2 weeks gone and it really feels like it is flying past! In just 28 weeks time I will be stood at the start line of Ironman France. The weather is still crap but I have been making the most of what I can ...

I think it is finally safe to say that my man flu episode is over. I am sure it has been said before but men certainly feel flu way more than women

2 years old! My god that has gone quickly... I am so proud to say that my eldest daughter is turning into the most amazing little girl. Training took a step back this week as we celebrated another milestone in Sadie's life.

My legs are sore today. Although this was not such a big week in terms of volume
