Tired legs :)

Had to back peddle quite a bit as tired legs due to the stair thing at the gym yesterday evening.

Was so strong before the lakesman. Not so much at the moment...

Gym day :)

Me and two colleagues at work Jo and Helen have set a challenge between us around the new step machine / stair machine in the gym at the jubilee sports centre.

I've done in the past,  about two minutes of climbing on it before staggering off it, so my challenge is to do 10minutes at level 12 by the end of July.

Well...

I brought my PE kit to work today and hit the gym when my shift finished at 8pm

Timer set - 10minutes, level 12. Start.

OMG it starts gently like the HB FTP and then just gently builds to barely able to lift your leg up. Ten minutes. Done. Utterly shattered. 

Will let the girls know tomorrow :)

Maybe I need to do 15 minutes before the end of July... 

First Monday of new training regime

Seven weeks to the standard distance club champs on the 1st Sept.

Time to get back on it.

Happy with HB session this morning :)

Cycled out to Wyvern 10k = 47mins

Brilliant fun

Quite warm / muggy

Then second bfast at Leanne's who gave me spuds from her garden and dropped me home.

Lidls

Then TdeF, F1, Men's Wimbledon final, Men's cricket World Cup. 

What an amazing afternoon / evening of stressful high quality sport!!!

Awesome day.

Lovely day in Gosport

Loved the diving museum.

Loved the beach :)

Had morning tea at Tudor House with the female European silver medalist for 65-69 middle distance triathlon. 

Was awesome! 

FTP went up by one whole watt!!!!!

Holy crap!!!

Talk about earning that one extra watt...

Heart rate went up to 190!!!!!

So my new ftp is now ONE SIX TWO

Circuits then S&C

Am feeling a tad tired now!

Did circuits and then home via the common for the last 30 odd mins of S&C. Was so lovely to see my LRR mates.

Getting into triathlons, joining LRR, going to Runcamp, HB, the SRSs running weekend just before the London marathon. Utterly life changing for me. 

And now I'm feeling ready to take the next step with my running / sport. I'm going to stick to a training plan, lose weight and start smashing out PBs.

It's going to be brilliant.
