Well on track - 20% down

Well, today is day 73 of the year - making it exactly 20% of the year gone.

And I've covered 250.75 km according to Nike+ plus maybe another 1.5km of dropout and errors from the technology.

So I'm 50km (or 25%) ahead of my target at the moment, or put another way, only 2.56km/day now required. Or 17.93km/wk from now on.

Next major check-ins: 26th May (40%), 30th June (50%), 7th August (60%), 19th October (80%), 31st December (100%)

Down the gym - again

Four runs in the gym - 2.04km at 10-10.5km/hr as a warmup. Then an attempt at some speed work - 0.51km and 052km. Horrible.

More stretching, then 1.03km at 4'29" per km as a more successful fast run.

Total distance for the week: 31.85km

Total distance for the month: 92.57km

Total distance for the year (according to Nike+: 197.49km (plus another maybe 1.5 from Nike+ errors and dropouts

Still well on target!

Sort of biathlon

Today I went for a 20km cycle and 5km run, which was not too much fun, but as I survived I thought it was time to launch the JustGiving page for the West Wight Triathlon. Since the beginning of the year, I've run nearly 500km, and I've seen my average speed creep from 6 minutes/km to better than 5'30" and even 5 minutes/I'm sometimes.

So I'm getting more confident that I can finish the WWT in less than 2 hours 30.

All contributions on the just giving page would be very welcome.

Cheers!
