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 for 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.

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
