Woo Woo, I am getting faster

All that training seems to be working! According to my geek records, I am a faster runner and rider today compared to June last year; I can both run and ride at higher speeds for longer. It is highly motivating to see progress as training takes effect. If I cannot see improvements then I find it difficult to motivate myself to train, if I see progress then it makes it all worthwhile. I would imagine that this is a universal human trait? I am still in the base training period and have not started strength or speed training yet and I have 4 months to go till the first Triathlon of the year therefore I am feeling pretty positive.

The days are gradually getting longer and I plan to cycle to work at least once a week throughout the spring and summer, which is a 140Km round trip which I will split over two days initially. I will need to map out a route fairly soon, I think I will look at a more scenic route as opposed to the most direct. There should be some options that follow the Thames which could be nice.

Training Done: - Bike: 45’ in Z2; Run 4x4’ Intervals in Z4; Swim Drills.
