Easily the worst week of training so far. All was going well and last Wednesday I woke early to do a turbo session. I had a look online and saw that the Outlaw Half had opened for entries so quickly got my name down, what better training event than half of the main one. From […]
I’m now into week 3 of my training plan for Outlaw and currently I’m 12 and 0 in terms of sessions. Good for me as there were definitely a few I might not have done had I not had a coach peering over my training diary. More after the jump.
Today was the first day of my Ironman training plan. Nothing major to start, just trying to build up some fitness and endurance and get used to training six days a week.

Marshal had other ideas when he
It’s all been going on in the last few weeks. Been training well and also been doing quite a few different events – started with the Gower Bike Ride on the 5th July which was 29 miles of undulating roads starting and ending in Swansea and taking in a good section of the Gower –
