The goal of this session is to maintain your pace throughout the main set, despite swimming different distances. It helps build stamina and endurance, setting you up for solid events. This session is perfect for Ironman and Olympic distance triathletes or people doing longer Ocean Swims.

Less than 48 hours back on New Zealand soil and I was celebrating the Greytown Park Run's first birthday with them. It was good to see over 40 out on the course today. There was a chilly breeze so I resorted to wearing a thermal over my shirt. My time was 4 minutes down on what I had run just before heading away for 3 weeks, however I am sure I'll whittle it back down before too long. . . #athlete #runner #run #running #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #qwikkiwi #consistency #consistencyisthekey #parkrun #parkrunnz @parkrun .nz #springtime #5km #womenrunners #gofaster

Another park run done n dusted. After Thursday night's biathlon run & a solid gym session yesterday, I think I feel more busted than dusted I did a short warm up to remind my legs & glutes what they needed to do I can feel all kinds of muscles in my glutes, quads & hammies at the moment , but I got them going and the official results say I was faster than last week. On the road to getting my aerobic fitness back. I kept active once home & got the lawns done. Time for feet up for a

On the first half of the biathlon run this evening I really suffered. Lack of running, the warm temperature (around 22C) hydration perhaps all had something to do with it. The second half felt moderately better. We had a social gathering afterwards and now I am feeling so ready to sleep, so that's what I'm going to do It's all about getting my fitness back now especially with a half marathon lined up in a months time. Tonight after the 4.8km biathlon run Garmin predicted a 30 hour recovery time #biathlon #run #runner #running #runtraining #training #trainingsession #athlete #triathlete #duathlete

Today's scheduled run was a warm up followed by 4 repeats of 3 mins run uphill, jog back down, finishing with a cool down. Oh my, I did not feel great on the first interval. I felt like I couldn't get enough oxygen in. That is the state of my current aerobic fitness The first return downhill took nearly as long as the uphill I was still gasping oxygen in The subsequent uphills felt better each time and the downhills got quicker There were positives from the workout. I survived for one. On Sunday I pulled a muscle in my
