DorPol Tri

That's the Hawaii IM over, & for some it's the 'thing', a bit like marathons, people just think London. However the cost of doing London compared to Bournemouth is a lot different as is the cost of entering an IM branded event. Nearly £300 for Weymouth 70.3 but do the same distance in the same town with Bustinskin cost = £80 Just a random thought...

Super league is awesome to watch...

A day that started with the chance for TriStars to experience the Super League course ended with Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee both coming away from Super League Triathlon Championship Series London with a bronze medal as British athletes put on a show in front of a home crowd.

Thoughts so far on training -- it's easy to plug away just to get out but what are your goals & how are you planning to achieve them. Are you ticking over or getting ready for that late season potential race. After pinging my hamstring yesterday & feeling jaded today, am opting for a rest day. In which case be wary of overtraining or picking up niggles & remember regular rest days actually improve performance.

Word from British Triathlon = events off until 30th June. Likely all season, we are allowed to exercise daily, although 99% will not be able to swim. Heres a debate though - what in this time is morally/socially acceptable.
1. 30-45 mins exercise per day?
2. 60-90 mins exercise per day?
3. 2hrs plus??
Difficult to answer & it's likely some cycling commuters are squeezing in a bonus session too.
Personally I would keep to 1. & 2. Doing some more harder shorter sessions is proven to be effective, & its unlikely any long training days are required as no events are likely to be going ahead. What's your spin??
