2024 Ultraman

I made the decision after Outlaw 2023 to have a break from triathlon for a while.  The endless swim bike & run training was getting to become a chore and to be honest wasn't enjoyable anymore.  My plan for 2024 was solely focussed on Ultra training.

I had my last swim session October 2023 and only had one river swim in 2024.  Haven't missed it.

Biking has been lower volume with one century ride this year.

Running & weight training have been consistent.

Race wise I did "The Lap" in 14:45, "The Lakeland Trails 50k" in 9:43 and "Lakeland 50" in 14:09.

So onto now.

I've entered the Lakeland 100 July 2025.  This scares me shitless!

I've signed up to Jayson Cavill coaching and so far so good.  Initial focus seems to be on speed before building volume.

So that's where I am now.  Hopefully I can keep documenting the journey over next 10 months.

It's time to evolve.

2nd March 2025 - Marriotts Way Marathon

Training has been going okay. Up to 50mile per week despite Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. Did Marriotts Way marathon this morning. 3:56:52 26.4 miles Started of Sloughbottom park, Norwich. -1degC for a chilly start. A lap of the field and we were away. It wasn’t long before the layers came off on a bright spring morning. Trail was a bit muddy and slippery all the way.  Hamstring in my right leg tightened and was on the verge of cramp from 8 miles in. Every time I pushed I could feel it so made the decision to hold pace. Good enough for sub 4hrs so all good.  Pace felt okay and only slow miles were when I stopped to fill bottles at half way or the few really claggy sections. Finished strong into Aylesham and there was a decent crowd for such a low key event. All in all a good day out.
