Normal is the new black

Normal or rather what is normal has been the training theme of the last couple of weeks. I’m happy to concede that my view of training normality is a little skewed, but I kind of like that.

So hit some big km on the weekend. At the half way point of my Sat run (14km) I felt I had barely started, does concern me for life post half-ironman! Saying that the Sunday ride wasn’t easy and I don’t feel like progress is as forthcoming as I would like. I have almost hit my longest  training ride at 110km. Amazing difference from the 60km starting point.  

 
At the end of the day even though my view of what is ‘normal’ fitness or training wise is skewed, someone else out there has an even crazier view of normal. Casing point – crazy guy on the news Fri morning who has just circumnavigated the world running a marathon everyday for two years, that is OTT.  

OK about to go road test some new runners, very light weight and very bright. Will be sure to report back.
