Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: Green for June!
Well to be honest I was hoping this blog would be slightly different!
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: The Long Run Is Important!
From my previous posts my biking is going great! Really seeing improvements and feeling good, unfortunately running has gone quite so well!
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: FTP increase but not all good!
First I’d like to apologise that this blog is late! As the title suggests, the FTP went well but unfortunately not everything about the week!
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: Test week is here!
The training has been great, the fitness seems to be improving, let’s see what test week brings!
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: good and bad!
On a positive note this week has seen some good power numbers and some pretty decent speed on the runs! However not everything was on track to achieve my goals, unfortunately.
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: Another great week!
Don’t know what it is about the lock down that has kicked my butt into gear, but it has definitely worked!
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: Trying to bring back the speed
From my goals blog last week and wanted to get some form of speed throughout April, Ray has tweaked my training to help me achieve these in the short term!
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: April goals!
As it’s coming up to April and with all races cancelled due to Corona Virus, it seems fitting to make some short term goals for the next month and see what May may bring if I achieve them.
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: Thinking About The First Tri!
With 6 weeks to go and still not showing any signs of consistency, wondering what’s in store come race day is pretty scary!
Mike’s Middle Distance Magic: Its all about the base!
Ive been having some good talks with Ray this week over training, over the past few months Ray has been putting sessions in for me to build up to a half marathon in a couple of weeks.

Morning run on a cool, clear, West Coast wintery morning ❄️ snow on the alps leads to a crisp breeze. Thankful for my @icebreakernz top 🏃♂️ #coachray #QwikKiwi - 2 hours ago
This was my first run in 5 weeks. I seldom run off road so this was a good test to see how my right leg was after twanging a muscle while helping a friend lift a rotary hoe into a car boot 5 weeks ago. I walked parts of the track & would have done in any case. I was surprised at how OK I felt. So all was good. #run #runner #running #athlete former #triathlete #duathlete #keepinghealthy #keepingfit #fitover60 #oldandfit #maturerunner #womenrunners #consistency #consistencyisthekey #qwikkiwi #instagram #instarunner #runnersofinstagram #offroadrun
Ironman Swim PB
I’ve taken my most popular training plan and given it a make over for 2020. I’ve taken the 12 Weeks to an Ironman Swim PB – Swim Faster with Smarter Training and I’ve modified to to expand the programme from 12 weeks and include an option for more than 3 swims per week.
Now the programme has created some great times for athletes competing at Ironman events around the world, but it was overly set in stone. Now if you have got between 8 & 24 weeks to an Ironman and are consistently swimming 3x, 4x or 5x per week, I’ve created an option for you. This is regardless of the length of pool 25m, 33⅓yd or 50m pool.
