Sitting on the sofa eating edamame beans as a source of protein, but not sure the glass of ale will be allowed in my new training plan done by 'Dr. J coaching' aka Judith Brand at Lincoln Tri Club. Still doing base training as only week four and having a taper week, which means less intense sessions and fewer hours spent on training. I also had a massage Friday at Fitness first in Lincoln with Trish and felt like I'd been run over by a bus in the morning. She has impressive strength in those hands of hers!
Off to the wheelchair racing clinic at Leeds yesterday, arriving late but managed to glean some tips from Hannah Cockroft, fresh from her victories in New Zealand and Paul Mosely who runs the sessions. The picture shows her with gold medals for 100 and 200m. If you watch the video on BBC Sport she leaves everyone else standing...Of course, having a set of rollers at home would be ideal, but as they cost £900, I'll have to keep practising at the track and round the airfield, plus on the road when these gale force winds stop.
I've tried to upload a video of me on the rollers and left it loading last night, but it didn't work, so why don't you check out: www.trainingpeaks.com. It's a lot easier to master than an Excel spreadsheet and gives you nice graphs, even in the free version!
At least your tapering! Thats a good start.
