The all new training diary.

[Bierzo Baggie]

Mate, this is all getting a bit serious - you sure you haven't taken up triathlons or something else equally monstrous?

Triatlón? Nope,..try again.

Week 3: Ran 3 times and notched up a shade under 30kms. It’s still not enough so…………
….here’s the plan, originally written on the back of a beer mat. It’s based on a common sense approach for the task ahead and incorporates the highly sensible run-walk strategy occasionally championed on this forum.

Mid-week. Will focus on quick forays of up to an hour and technical descents, although speed isn’t particularly important as my aim in the race is just to finish. Ideally I should get out 2 or 3 times a week.

Sunday mornings. Very long ones. I’ll have to get in a lot of steep climbing and be prepared to do as much walking as running. A ridiculously early start may be on the cards if I’m not to disrupt family routines. My unused head-torch lies in the cupboard just in case.

The first long ‘en will be tomorrow.

And have you told Mrs. BB??

I fear that the race itself will be a piece of cake. Telling Mrs. BB is the bit I'm really dreading..

Come on curiosity is killing us - What Are You Doing Over There

WAY DOT ..I like that. Sorry Sw. It's the race I can't mention not even to myself..

Andy..I've a feeling that Albion will be coming to Loftus Road with everything to play for. Plus there are rumours that the last game of the season is in fancy dress ..it should be a good one .
