I hate this week

I'm doing my second duathlon this week. I hate this week. You can't over do it so you are 100% ready... Think this this may my last. I just want to train. I love doing the training for it and yes probably the race. Just don't like this build up. Anyone else like this

Just signed up for a 55 mile cycle next Sunday (7th) Hope I'm ready for that

It must be awful, got to say I’m not looking forward to tapering, I’m bad enough on non running days already. I was just listening to the Free Weekly Timed podcast, and Vassos started training in January for a triathlon that is next year! 18 months or so of training... then all he has to do is run the 100 miles from London to Dover, swim the channel and then cycle to Paris!

Have a great event

He fibbed... it’s only 87 miles on the run... Arch to Arc... very few have completed it and one guy died after getting into trouble half way through the swim. There’s crazy events and then there’s this one... I may give it a miss!
