So, I caught a virus and didn't train yesterday or today. Probably won't tomorrow either. I was low on energy so I mostly stayed indoors, got enough sleep, ate reasonably well and took in plenty of fluids. It's not complicated. Had a lot of laughs playing with my daughter.

Think I'm grieving for the training I was gonna do today (It's been less than 24hrs since my last run)

Very late to the party but I watched the Icarus documentary. Clean pro sports are a fantasy unfortunately. The human desire to win/succeed outweighs morality or fairness.

Training's been going well the last few weeks and I was all set for a workout today and long run tomorrow nudge the volume up for the 8th week in a row. But I've caught a virus so I'm going to sacrifice the strava graph for now to rest up and run another day.

New Shoe Day!! Took these out for a 17km first test and I'm impressed. Had a few threshold k's and some fast 200s in there and the SLs stood up. They are just plain good fun to run in, can't ask more than that!

Aug 4th-10th: 10hrs total 4hrs 🏃‍♂️, 4.5hrs 🚴‍♂️, 1.5hrs 🏋️‍♂️ Building back the running volume, and feeling pretty good. 55km in 5 runs. 2 x bike days including my longest ever ride at 72km 2 x lift - trying to keep this a priority so I can stay healthy. Also the gains 😅

I finally bought cycling shoes and clipped in for a ride this morning. I can see why this is a thing. Takes some getting used to but I mostly got the hang of it, only had 1 little scare where I forgot to get my foot free before a stop!

The events actually get harder as you cut down in distance. A 5k is harder than a marathon, and a mile is harder than a 5k, and the 800m is harder than the mile, etc. This is why the hardest distance I’ve ever attempted is nothing.
