Thought I would video my 2hr 26k run in Loughborough.  Don’t think it worked as well as I thought! It’s quite hard I tell you but at least the music is good…

Just ticked off another good week.  Lots of hard training, something hard every day in fact which tends to chafe!
I managed to find a few pictures from the Cross Country.  I Felt fine coming off it although they do leave you in a bit of a hole for a while. Check out the mud!  You [...]

Here are couple of great paintings Vanessa Raw is doing for Adidas/Lloyds bank.
Apparently she is the Official Olympic Artist and i think they are also going up for her Degree show.
Her Website is still being finished. I will put up the link later.
Can you guess who these people are? No points for my one…by the [...]

I raced the National Cross Country Champs at the weekend. (struggling a bit for photos but I found a few on FB)

I rocking in 23rd.  I was pretty happy with this. it’s a pretty solid result for me in the middle of my winter training and I finished with some big names in the sport. [...]

Got back from Spain a few days ago.
Was a tough camp, got in a lot of intensity so feeling pretty smashed. I now have an easy week though to adapt before we make another push! This winter is never ending I tell you.  It doesn’t help that it’s still snowing.  Usually I go to South [...]

We can always rely on this former European u23 champ to bring laughter to the camp. We payed him £18 to do 50m in the pool.

Cool guy for Chris Lieto to know. Fair play, thats good riding!

Gareth’s facial expressions are amazing…

Personally i haven’t seen it looking that nice yet!

What did you guys do for Valentines day? Get any cards?
Kerry Lang- Yea, 1 card from my husband and a chocolate heart…but I ate it a week ago!
Phil Graves- Went for a 2hr run and reminissed about how tragic my life is!
Dave Macnamee- Same as Phil, no cards however, I’m sure they are all at [...]

The two newest members of Triathlon Team,  Lisa Norden who had a stunning year in 2009 winning a World Champ Series and also 2nd in World Championships gets interviewed by Lesley Paterson the Scot who finished 2nd in Xterra Worlds. Then Lisa returned the favour.
Also some interesting websites for you to follow:)

Girona is nice, really nice. Accommodation and food is really good which sort of partly makes the trip in my eyes. As long as it’s a nice interesting area and the suns out, I’m happy and we have that as well.
We are under an hours ride from the Pyrenees here so a lot of [...]

Visit TCR for a Valentine’s Speed Date with Will Clarke

Reigning Double British Triathlon Champion and 2012 Olympic hopeful, Will Clarke, is preparing to get hearts racing at the ‘Multipower Indoor Time Trial’ – one of the feature attractions at this year’s Triathlon Cycling & Running & Show, on 13-14 February at Sandown Park in Esher, [...]

Had a nice start back after a 2 year break from the Cross Country today.
I hate this course, it’s muddy as hell and that just doesn’t suit me at all! The organisers always insist it has to be 15km over a stupidly hilly and muddy course!
I was happy with my position today, it’s all moving [...]

Great camp, got a lot out of it. Thanks to all the various training partners who went out who also helped make it a huge success.
Managed about 28 hrs a week, not loads but considering the amount of intensity, it certainly took its toll and I’m pretty tired today:) Going to absorb some of that [...]

There really is not a lot to talk about at the moment my end.  My heads down (in the sun) I am swimming, biking and running every day and 2 times a week in the gym.  I have zero gossip, no one is ill, no one is injured and without any parties or racing not [...]

Been in Lanza for 5 days.
Its been great, lovely temperature (for winter).  These Spanish don’t even know what winter is I don’t think!
Nothing special out here, just very consistent training, hitting the important sessions and taking it easy in the recovery.
Today we rode with Dave Mclean.  Don’t think I have ever ridden with someone so [...]

The day started terribly.
Wednesday morning swim, I hate Wednesday mornings. We swim at 6:00am and it sucks!  It falls right after my Tuesday run session and if I am tired at all when I swim…I can’t swim!

We then had to ride indoors at 10:30am to get away from the snow.  I rocked up, got set [...]
