2010? Tsk. 3 days until I have to go back to work, more like. Still, as the Roman numeral ticks over to MMX, my thoughts concentrate on the new season ahead. If I allow myself to consider the training already done as bonus work in the bank, then this is when the real training starts. Shame, then, that there's still snow on the ground and that I've got a *deleted* puncture! (Mainly annoying as I've had every chance to order new patches/spare inner tube, and I haven't. Having nobody to blame except myself hurts.)
Hm. Looks like paragraph breaks are the first casualties of wine.
So it's not the most ideal circumstances in which to kick a training programme into gear. No excuses though, Driffield Triathlon is a mere 19 weeks away. Subtracting 5 weeks for recovery time, we've about 14 weeks to become race fit. Even if it's only over 400m/20km/5km. If we can rack up 80 hours of decent training in that time, we should be OK. If not...well, I won't allow that to happen.
Personally, I kicked off 2010 with my first ever run interval session - 3 x 5:00 in HR zone 3, interspersed in 45 mins of zone 2. T'was a nice waker-upper, looks like I was pacing about 27 mins for 5K. Not that that's the point of HR training, but it's nice to know.
Really, really can't wait to get a long (2 hours+) bike ride in. Might require a slight uplift in temperature first mind, lest my toes actually fall off, like they threatened on Monday -_-. According to the BBC website, this won't be anytime soon. A really good way of ticking off a good part of my training hours though. With the possibility of cake too, which helps.
Cake always helps.
