WEEK 11

​Legs 11... fitting, cause my legs are slaughtered.  Not injured, just wrecked. 

​Never have I gone this far into an Ironman preparation without having a dry needle put somewhere in my body.  That's a real testament to the weekly treatment I'm getting from Toby Glennon at SportsMyo.  Before you think this is a shameless plug, it's convinced me, that weekly maintenance is far better than monthly "help me". Then you need to see someone 5 times in 2 weeks to get sorted out.  It's a false economy for mind, so the financial argument I used to have with myself is just flawed.  Never again.

​I'll be having a very light week this week, before cranking up into another stratosphere for block 3 (the premiership quarter), everything will be going up, including the temperature.  
​
​If the body can handle it, I'm big on solid brick sessions.  It trains the mind and that's the most powerful weapon on race day.  It's not for everyone, but I like it, and this time around (unlike Taiwan) the body can handle it.  I finished off another 20 hour week with a 200-30 brick.  I'm floating tonight, booked for an hour, but that could extend longer.... 

​The next 3-4 weeks will be very different, stay tuned.  Blog videos to return.
