The first week…

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 a right state! Then it just clicked and now I am actually training pretty solidly.  I think 5 swims easy swims (just 2/3k drills) 7hrs of running and 10 hrs on the bike in the hills is pretty exciting start for the first week.

I can’t wait to get stuck into some hard running though, we have lots of good guys to run with up in Loughborough at the moment.  Adam Bowden just joined our group.  He is a top British Steeplechaser and has run 7:50 for 3k.  Last season was his first Triathlon season and he ran a 29min 10k on the track half way through!!! Pretty impressive off Triathlon training!  As well as Ryan Mcleod and the massive Loughborough Athletics Club should be fun.  I want another week of miles in my legs then I will get stuck into it.  It’s a first because usually I don’t start running fast week in week out till March.
