Great training session this morning with a friend, Gerry - he's a very good triathlete, and represents Great Britain for his age group. Gerry has a great set-up in his garage... aka 'The Hurt Locker', and Richmond Park is just around the corner.
We started off on the turbo trainer - 5 min warm up followed by 9 x 4 min efforts at 85% effort/over 95rpm with 1 min active recovery between each one. My legs were burning throughout! As soon as we finished the last set it was straight off the bikes, trainers on and an out and back run into Richmond Park. We ran for 10 mins at 75% effort level then turned around and ran back at 85% effort level - so all in all approx 20 mins of running on tired legs.
When I jumped off the bike and straight into the run, I got that feeling in my legs that I've only ever had whilst racing - complete jelly legs, struggling to keep good form etc... This type of session is great race preparation!
Less than 2 months to go now until race day - thank you to everyone for all the support so far but we're some way off our £5,000 target so please sponsor us what you can... click here to donate online. Thank you, Josh
