Happy Christmas everyone

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Happy Christmas to everyone, I hope you have a great day and 2010 is a big success.
I am enjoying some more ‘pressure off time’.  I feel quite tired after the past 9/10 weeks so it’s nice to come back down from the volume and intensity that I was on.  Christmas came at a good time, [...]

Day one Antequerra

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Just arrived in Antequerra (Southern Spain) for our top secret British training camp.
I’m rooming with Captain Slug Eyebrows, Aaron Harris again and so far its not been too bad.  Were not on the rocks yet and no real arguments! It is only day one however.

Spirits in the camp are really good, its the biggest camp [...]

Peter Holmes

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

On Sunday night I received the terrible news that Pete Holmes, a very close friend of mine and a huge amount of other other people died by a fall while hiking in the mountains in Vancouver.
I first met Pete in one of my lectures (I say lectures, I mean running around hockey pitch). Typical to [...]

Training so far, 7 weeks in

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Cant believe this first part of the year has gone so quick almost Christmas and 7 weeks into my training, I’m really enjoying the process.  If you are looking for a good present for the family for Xmas…

It’s quite different being coached by Ben Bright, things feel very under control, not one day is particularly [...]

Good Job in Clearwater boys

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

A shout out to two of my very good buddies who finished their season yesterday strongly with their main goal in Clearwater 70.3 Worlds.
I think they both had mixed build ups but they did a great job, and not a nice event to suffer through!

Im sure Frasers website will have a proper race report up [...]

Lets just have one World Championships

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Probably get a bit nailed for this post…
One think that really annoys me about Triathlon is the amount of World Championships there are about and in-fact, the amount of races there are in the World.  It’s crazy how many top level races there are kicking about.
I would love to see one World Championships and the [...]

Great start to the winter

Monday, November 9th, 2009

I’m really enjoying being back into my training.  It’s probably been the smoothest start I have had so far, which is great because that’s how I need it to continue!  The weather has been amazing recently up here, it’s starting to get cold though but as long as the suns out, it’s a pleasure!
I have [...]

Normatec

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Really keen to get my hands on one of these! Looks like a really cool bit of kit, I have heard amazing things about it. I am speaking to the guy from Normatec tomorrow to see what we can do
I think it could make a big difference for recovery! You need every advantage you [...]

The first week…

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Well, I’m now getting stuck into my 2nd week of training.
It’s going really well so far, It definitely gets easier the older you get, probably more relevantly the more years you have of backing up the hours.
I was hurting big time in the first few days, I was blowing up in every session and I felt in [...]

Some recent bits of media…OOPS!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Cruising around WHSmiths the other day in town…I discovered I have (I think) my very first front cover on my own on a magazine that you can buy in shops.  It’s a new magazine, I’m sure the sales will go through the roof for this issue!

Flicking through the magazine, Multipower have also been doing a bit [...]

Annual Break:)

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Well I have now arrived back from Thailand where I spent most of my annual break.  Its almost time to get back to the grind…Monday our training starts for real with a new squad structure which will make things a bit different, its about time really to be honest. I am very motivated and excited [...]

Official results on new ITU website.
Bravo Will!

Two days away

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Hey gang.
2 days out from the race now…still feels like a long time! To be honest, its been pretty boring the past few days! I can’t wait to get this one ticked off.  I don’t know what the forms like, I have completely forgotten about the cracking block of training I completed almost two weeks [...]

Out for a ride

Ready to rock and roll!

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Well yesterday saw the end to my 10 day block, and my last hard block of the year!
This training block couldn’t have gone better. I managed to back up hard session after hard session and now I feel ready to smoke it at the Worlds.  My swimming and running are going especially well which is [...]

This weekend

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

I pulled up from London pretty well in the end.
One of my competitors and friends Clark Ellice is down from New Zealand, he’s a good athlete and were getting our heads stuck into this last block of training for just one more hard week this year and it’s gone really well so far. I think [...]
