My fitness has suffered over the summer for sure, the last 2km was tough going. My plan for a less intensive August maybe hasn't paid off although I may reap the benefits when I start my proper training plan on September 1

My run fitness always drops in school holidays as our routine is different but it’s a chance to do other stuff and rest my joints I think . Did 40mins on cycle trainer this morning and 400m swim whilst my DDs were playing in pool.

May I join you? Recently left the UK where I used to run a fair bit and swim in the sea, currently enjoying the 50 meters outdoor pool in France-so clean and cheap :)
So far I have swum 645km, ran 647 km and cycled a few km on my little shopper in 2019. Aiming to keep this thread updated. Well done on your efforts everyone!

Welcome anterenea I’d love to be near a 50m pool. We had an outdoor 50m pool on ours hols in France and I swam every day.

Turbo cycle trainer this morning and I did 30sec Sprint /60sec recovery x6 on it with in a 35min workout. Phew made me sweat. Ive got a Tri in 3wks time and done virtually no bike stuff since May so this is me trying desperately to get some bike time in whilst I’ve got the kids at home

Thank you TriSkiRun99, certainly making the most of it as being France the outdoor pool closes on 01 September on the dot . This leaves the indoor 25 meter pool where I also suffer twice a week for 45 minutes with a proper training session. From living in Devon I seem to recall no shortage of cycling clubs, most of them very women friendly and fairly cheap, That would take care of your cycle training I guess.

Away camping at mo but hoping to get a sea swim in later if the wind & tides allow . Fancied a run this morning which is the 1st time in a few weeks that I have but I couldn’t as DH at work & DDs too young to leave alone in the tent. Must be the weather cooling down 😂I’ll try persuade them to walk instead an ice cream normally works as bribe

Tough session in the pool tonight with many a length painfully done using pull buoys and paddles!

August stats

Year to date: 1235 km = 5.08/day
August: 130 km = 4.06/day

August has been a tricky month, I've run as frequently as normal but just not the distances, a combination of time constraints, temperature, and general holiday mode. I'll be glad to get back to normal!

Walked 10miles with the kids yesterday but back to reality with lots of washing to get through now. August stats was a lot less running and more swimming. I did do two sea swims whilst away this week but not long distances.
In Aug ran only 58k my lowest monthly total, swam 10k my highest swim total and cycled 57k. So a mixed bag this month. In sept I need to start increasing my long run again I want to get ‘comfortable’ at 10m /16k again.

To start Sept on
