Well it has been a while since my last blog post. Figured I had better write a quick few lines to let you know I’m still alive!<\/p>\n

Firstly, here is a link to a great article by Joe Friel about recovery. Definitely worth a read: http:\/\/www.joefrielsblog.com\/2010\/09\/how-to-recover.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Since my last serious post I have completed a few races – Ironman Swiss 70.3, London Triathlon, and the National Club Relays. All good fun. Managed to PB in Swiss 70.3 and London Triathlon so am pleased with my recent performances.<\/p>\n

My training leading up to the Windsor Half-Marathon and the New York Marathon is progressing well. Touch wood my legs are holding out with the increased running volume. This weekend I have the HSBC Standard Distance Triathlon at Dorney Lake. My main goal is sub-2h30 – with the secondary goal of beating my work colleagues who are doing a relay team race.<\/p>\n

My swimming is holding steady and doesn’t appear to be improving significantly. I have increased my swim session duration, but have unfortunately reduced my swim frequency. Over the winter I hope to maintain my swimming and hopefully get a bit faster.<\/p>\n

My cycling is going well – my last few weekly 10mile time-trials have definitely improved my 30minute (CP30) power output.\u00a0 Over the winter I am looking at trying to not loose too much power while I rest up.<\/p>\n

I will hopefully write up some brief race reports over the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
