Three Peaks - with no-one else

Cycled into Inverurie - 13.2km, 30'14" at 26.2km/hr. Arrived late (0938), nobody there so waited until 0945, and then set off. Then around Chapel of Garioch, down to Burnhervie and back to Monymusk and around the Pitmunie loop - 28.03km, 1hr15'58", average speed 22.2km/hr Absolutely nothing in my legs (I blame the Prosecco accident).

Three Peaks training again

About 1,500m in the pool, over maybe 50 minutes, but also with lots of sculling and messing about with paddles. Hard, but slow

Three Peaks swimming

2 km with various gaffing about with fins and paddles. Really tired inner thighs and shoulders afterwards. About 50 minutes - but who's counting?

Three Peaks session

5.08 km in 25'38" (5'03"/km), and then around 1450m swimming in the pool (with lots of breathing exercises

Three Peaks starts again

5.12 km around Inverurie, at 5'28"/km, and then 1.75km in the pool in a series of moderate pace and 1 in 4 lengths a sprint

Swimming

Maybe 1.2 km in the pool tonight.

Big weekend

Saturday: 10km around Aberdeen while waiting for Meriel's hockey. Intentionally not too fast, but 55'51" (or 5'34"/km) was not bad.

Sunday was a big bike ride of 68 km at an average moving speed of 25.6km/hr - although I still got dropped on all the hills (at least by 2 out of 3 other riders)

Then up to Whitehills with Minnie for a walk/run of 3km, and then a continuous (although slow) run of 2.38km at 5'42"/km (not too bad after the bike ride).

So, added 15.38 km this weekend to the running total

Biking with Three Peaks

41.26 km in 1hr41'26" - average speed 24.4 - ugh. A fair amount of climbing though, and tired legs after yesterday. Quite a bit of drafting too though

Three Peaks Swimming

2km in about 52 minutes, including some drills and hanging around time

Monday night, training night

9.79km at 5'23"/km, then 1.3 km in the pool over an hour (notionally technical training.

Swimming 5.2 REKs

What a day

Starting in the gym, with 2.07 km on the treadmill at 12 km/hr and a gradient of 4, then 3, then 4 for the last 2 minutes.

Then a recovery run around Inverurie, 7.56km at an average pace of about 5'30". Then 2.15 km swimming with Three Peaks.

And the gym again tomorrow morning!

Interval training

8.4 km in total, with 2.2 to warm up and 2.2 to warm down, with 4 by 1km intervals in the middle. All of the intervals were better than 5', and three were 4'34:, 4'34" and 4'30 (my current speed target)

Almost forgot - 1800m of swimming afterwards (easy night!)

Still heavy, but back to Three Peaks Training

Triathlon training last night. 3 runs: 5.29km at 5'53"/km as a warmup, then a fast 1km - 1.02km in 4'19" (4'18" pace, but mainly downhill), and then 2.19km in 5'44" pace back to the pool.

Swim was 500m warmup, 500m in 50m sprints, 150 m in 25m sprints, 250 m in 50m sprints, then a 750m - total 2.15km in the hour

Consequently, today is a day off and I'm knackered

Three Peaks Triathletes - first training session

7.34 km, with an initial 1.5 km warmup, then 4 reps of 1 km, or thereabouts, 4'38"/km to 4'52"/km, with a final rep and then another 0.5 km cool down.

Disappointed that the fastest interval wasn't 4'35" or better, but maybe next time.

Then 2,000m of swimming in various shapes and sizes. Good fun
