Then on Sunday I'm either doing a long cycle with Shiraz (checking out the Windsor tri route) or I'm going to swim and run (maybe even open water swim for the first time this year...)
For those of you who haven't heard on "other forums" I'm now in serious training - going to try to tackle 4km swim, 120km cycle and 30km run long distance triathlon in Holland at the end of August - all because I want to wear some GB kit - I honestly never thought I'd ever ever ever get to represent my country at any level... now all I have to do is learn how to cycle that far and of course to practice my posing (even when I come last) ;-)
Oh, I forgot - training... Probably 10 miles very slow on Sunday. Then starting 6 weeks of intervals, hills and BPTT aiming for a massive 10k PB on 1 July.

Best of luck with this Hollywood! A great challenge, it will be good to have another international athlete on the forum Keep us updated on how your training is progressing.
Just a couple of training runs for me this weekend, got a 10k race on Wednesday.
As for me, no training this weekend. Did White Peak Marathon today though, PB'd by 33 mins (that was set 9 years ago and was my only marathon), 3h 51m. Was a tough one though, uphill for 7-800ft for the first 10 miles, then flat and downhill in 2 steep sections for 800ft in the last few miles (when your legs are feeling dead). As it was off road there were plenty of deep puddles and muddy patches too!
Suffered with cramp for the last 6 miles, that was interesting to say the least!
I think I'm gonna have a week off cos my left knee feels knackered (IT Band!).
Has anyone had a problem with Proviz running jackets?
After over 10 years running in cheap jackets I decided to treat myself to a Proviz jacket for Christmas but have found it impossible to run in as it makes my arms really sweaty irrespective of whether I wear a long or short sleeved technical...
Hi. I previously qualified for Boston at London. Does anyone have experience of qualifying from other marathons in the UK? Or being rejected due to the course/race? The BAA site says: "We accept qualifying times from USATF, AIMS, or foreign equivalent certified courses." I was looking at the...
So used to run about 20 miles a week around 8 years ago(cant believe that time as flown by).
To be honest I think it helped with mental health as well as physical.
So as well as being currently about 2 stone overweight I think I need something to clear my head as I tend to over think. Might be...
Reading Chrissie Wellington's book last night she talks about the importance of compression garments as part of the recovery process.
As I'd had a particularly grueling 15 mile run yesterday I thought I'd give it a go.
Still wearing them now. Felt quite snug actually & legs don't feel quite...
Hi
I jumped up my mileage from 7 miles to 12 and my legs are to tight to run for most of the following week. I ve done this because the group I belong to go out on a long runs Sundays and I like it.
Can I just do cardio at the gym instead of running and just continue this until my legs adjust.
