back pain, busy week, low morale: recipe for a quiet week. Fortunately i manage a few bike commutes. Weekly load 190. definitely not enough to maintain fitness : i spend the whole week in the blue “fresh” range of intervals.icu fitness graph. The week end with an HM (https://masto.bike/@randomized/116273602974247856) not a z2 one, but still…

Still struggling with back pain. Total load 270. Mostly biking (indoor and commuting). By end of week i manage a few cautious treadmill runs. I feel confident for an outdoor adventure on the week-end. On sunday, after a false start due to back pain, after warming up i start again, i end up doing 17k…

So this marathon along the Saône has not been very conclusive. Let’s get back to training. I’ll add 1/4h of running to my now daily 1/2h biking / 1/2h rowing. I manage to also do a couple bike commute (i’ll do 58k of biking during the week. Morale quite low at the moment, and it…

TL;DR : went too fast, got stuck in Z3, so the finish was though. Objective: redo previous z2 run with fresher legs. I still did a daily 1h z2 training in gym during the eek, avoiding running, but nothing more. So fresh legs. The route: Take a train to Villefranche-sur-Saône, run back home along the…

Let’s try to recover from previous high loaded week-end and keep legs fresh for the next big adventure. I’ll be doing 1/2h biking, 1/2h rowing everyday, day off on saturday. On sunday, marathon !

I aim for a daily training load equal to expected CLT: 50, distributed throughout the week. Which translate to: 1/2h biking (load 18) 1/2h rowing (13) , 1/2h stepper (14) and 1/4h running(10) to get used to that slow z2 pace. It’s promising, with 2 very good z3 runs on the week-end (15K/500mEG on saturday,…

Goal: I’ll be 50 this year, so let’s do something 50’ish… we need to build endurance for this, so i’ll focus on z2 training i register at local gym, i start with 1/2h biking, 1/2h rowing every day, 1 day rest. In the meantime i follow Decathlon training plan “hilly trails” where i replace every…

Tl;Dr October 2024 i completed my 1st trail marathon – 42k and 1900m EG. Lot of fun, both during race and training sessions. A little pain and some moment of doubts. Went very conservative, keeping eye to stay mostly on Z3. So i ended in pretty fine shape. Spent the following day building a stone…
