No other way to say it really, this weekend as my coach - Toby Smithson likes to name it, is the THE BIG ONE!
This weekend marks the 30 days away from race day. This means it the last big training weekend I have in my plan. This time next Friday I will be at Heathrow airport ready to board my plane to Melbourne, Australia. I am so excited, so much to do in so very little time!
So the weekend of training goes like this:
Saturday
5am start - 6hrs on the turbo (controlled and planned session) and then straight off bike and into a 30 min Z2 run. Simply out and back.
Sunday
3 hours run in Z2 and then a 1 hour swim (speed set)
The major difference between this weekend and my weekends in the past is I am going 'dark'.
What does 'dark' mean?? This means I will not be tweeting, be on Facebook etc. When the tough gets going I have to go within and use my internal positive voice to push through!
So my friends, wish me luck, I will nail it I know, I just got to get through the middle section of the ride and I will be fine. Don't think I am too crazy as my friend who is also doing the same as me and is coached by the same coach as I, is also going to be on her turbo for 6 hours!
Till next time
Smooches
