Training Week 23/1/12 to 29/1/12

Hi Guys,
A good mix of training and fun this past week. I got back into the swimming with a couple of sessions also and the shoulders are reminding me I need to get going again with more swim consistency. A fun Golf day on Sunday with the crew from Hunter Industrial Ceramics topped off a great weekend. A few more training sessions linked in with Max and Frankie to make use of my child minding time with some fun for the kids. Bike racing is progressing well with an unfortunate last lap puncture ruining any chance of a placing. Intensity on the bike is creeping up and the thighs-back are adjusting well. I'll increase the runs this coming week after testing runs this week went well. We had a great family day on Australia Day with a lovely BBQ and foreshore harbour fextival mixed in. Overall, I pulled up well in a recovery week and can increase again next week.

Training Week 16-22/1/12

Another week down. Busy week at work with the partners away. Sam had her Hen's Night on the weekend and by the longevity and severity of hangovers it seems that it was a great success :) . The kids were a dream so all worked out well. I signed on for a new countryside loop with Justin Jefferson and the boys and it proved to provide great terrain that I will incorporate into my training. Walks and Mtb with Frankie-Max replaced a few sessions due to commitments but lugging an extra 20kgs around on the Mtb certainly added some strength work to the week.
Run and swims will be added to next week along with possibly two bike races if the weather allows. That should take care of the intensity for the coming week.

Hi Guys,

Second week completed and feeling better on the bike. I increased the testing of the legs on the bike this week with some good hill efforts and an A grade bike race. Nil swimming but I did start my core work again. The running-walk has allowed the body to ease back in and I will be increasing the time this week however run intensity stays the same. Lacked race fitness and the recovery from the hills sessions took the zip out of the legs. However the diesel engine is still there. Tour Down Under is on the tv this coming week so that will be great to view with GreenEdge becoming the first Aussie Pro Tour team.

Cheers, Bevan.

2012: Training Log 1/1/12 - 8/1/12

Hi Guys,

I will be posting my weekly training log in an effort to keep this blog updated with my ramblings and activities. Whilst having the best intentions, time seemed to always slip away and the blog updates never got done. Weekly posting will prompt me to add updates as well as be more consistent with my training plus post my thoughts on new gear, training methods, recovery techniques, preventative techniques and physiotherapy methods I come across.

Training Log 1/1/12 - 8/1/12

I am trying to be consistent and do some activity each day. I am slowly bringing the running back in with a jog-walk to run-walk method working on extending session length and then shortening walk time before moving to intervals. My biking is coming along well and picking up where I left off in early December. I will be testing it out next week with a Bike race. My swimming needs more consistency but with sickness rotating through the household, time was a limiting factor. I am also reviving my strength and core sessions as I had slackened off this last year to my detriment.
So here is to my weekly update and bring on more consistency this year.
Cheers,
Bevan.
