Introspection

Being off training with a cold, realising how exhausted I am,damaging the foot has forced me to sit back, have a read and learn something.

From now on I reduce the training heart rate to sub aerobic threshold at the weekends and spend more of the week with a relaxed resting mind set. Ironman panic has set in despite my best efforts and I have been reminded that I can't train for Ironman at 'cross race pace.

Actually if I trained for cross this much I'd probably actually be quite good at it.

Now there's something for another year.
