Before the tri season starts I will fit in some 10k and 5k run races, just to use as a gauge for my running. I also plan on adding a couple of cyclo sportives in there, to add to endurance training.

Full week of training this week, pool everyday as I have not been for 4 days. 3 runs and two gym sessions, bike everyday and one session on turbo trainer. Then we go away for a week over Christmas. Will take bike and running shoes. Plan on minimum two long bikes and 3 45 minute runs. Won't be easy with family around, but I can't lose fitness that I have got back over the last few weeks. Already have missed this weekend, as Tracey off looking after her dad who unfortunately is not very well. I have been looking after my boy Henry which has been great fun, and managed to do all my Christmas shopping, but I really feel I need to get out and do something. One day rest I can handle but 2?!?!?!

are you trying to kill yourself?

this seems a very heavy schedule is it normal and do the races count as training with extra rest days in between?

I look at it and it really does seem quite a lot. However, the sprint tris I will be treating as training sessions, not bothered about times. I've got them down as Cat C races, so will be taking them very easy. Main focus is Half Ironman and then Bournemouth and Swanage. I am better at the longer endurance events. It always takes me a good half hour on any bike ride before I feel I can get started.
So three Cat A races and the rest like I say are really for training.
And the schedule is flexible, I may not do all if I decide I feel tired. Don't want to jeopardise Ironman.
