March stats: 176km/ 5.67 per day av
Annual total: 461 km/ 5.12 per day av

March has been my best month to date, distance wise. April probably not as I'll be tapering off towards the end, in prep for my half.

Today, 7.5km

468.5/ 531.5

What is turbo trainer tri? I notice that you do it a lot!

TriSkiRun99 · 06/04/2019 11:50

ParkRun sandwich today and got PB on 5k and 10k Grin 🤸🏽‍♂️ Super pleased with that as been feeling under the weather last few days.
Turbo trainer is when you put the back wheel of your own bike onto a rolller and you can ride your bike like a static bike. Hubbie has a “smart” one which uses Bluetooth to hook up to cycling workouts online but I just pedal varying my pace whilst watching TV in our garden shed Smile. Useful bit of winter training kit if like my DH your into cycling plus I used it when on maternity leave and craving exercise whilst baby slept next to me in her buggy liking the white noise the bike made Grin

That's amazing @thenewaverage half way and we are only in April!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 09/04/2019 20:29

Amy to be fair I should have set a bigger target really, but I like the idea of smashing it early! Grin

thenewaveragebear1983 · 10/04/2019 12:34

8.5km today

515/ 485

Going away tomorrow, I'm taking my running gear but I'm not making any promises!

amysaurus87 · 12/04/2019 10:37

@thenewaverage I like that idea! Maybe I was too hasty I'm upping my target 🤣 I need something big to aim for though!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 12/04/2019 15:32

I'm on holiday in Florence but managed a hungover 9km at 6.30 this morning (would have been 7 but got very lost!)

TriSkiRun99 · 13/04/2019 12:27

Half marathon is 2 weeks today so a week more training then a week of tapering.

amysaurus87 · 15/04/2019 03:56

39.01 miles of walking done this week! Bit lower than I would have liked but been having work done on the house so I've had to stay in...much to the annoyance of my little boy!

583.82/916.18

Hopefully this week will be better!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 17/04/2019 13:24

Turbo trainer 35min at lunchtime then 9.5k run tonight. Planning to try a 10m run Friday morn as DH can have kids Smile. Not done further than 6m since mid-Febs HM so it will be a challenge.

Tri training this morning instead of long run. Hilly Bike 20k then straight into 5k run. Really pleased felt fine in puff but it was my foot pins n needles which slowed my run as had to keep stopping to stretch it.
