Official distances for 2011

Running:1085km

Cycling: 1160 km

Swimming: Didn't count, but I'm guessing 10 training sessions at 2km each, plus maybe 10km more in race days and miscellaneous training

I've posted targets of 600km running and 1,800 on the bike (and 100km swimming) for 2012, but that sounds a little light. Let's got for 750, 2000 and 100km.

That makes 15km/wk running, 40km/wk on the bike and 2km/wk swimming

And finally for 2011

a run form Pitfichie to Whitehills, a total of around 8 km at an average of around 6'/km (very sluggish - and bizarrely almost entirely uphill).

Treadmill fun

Gym visit, with 2.3km in 12 minutes at between 11 and 12 km/hr,

then the usual desultory abs work, and then a 5km tempo run at 12 or better - although it still took 25'45" at a pave of 5'o8"km. Go figure.

Thinking about targets for next year: 600km running, 1800 km biking, 100km swimming seems reasonable. A little more demanding than last year, but let's see where that takes us.

First non-windy day in weeks

So 7km loop to warm up on the bike, then the 14km time trail loop (anticlockwise today).

The time trial was 28.1km/hr, so still a way off the target 30km/hr. Kept the heart rate nice and high though.

Boxing Day around Aberdeen

10km at 5'30" moving pace. 5'39" including stops for traffic lights.

Felt pretty full of turkey and stuffing, though

Total running distance for 2011 so far: 1070km (not going to make 1100 before the end of the week).

Tempo in the gym

5km in 24'6" - 4'48" pace, but all the fast stuff in the last km
