Back in mid July I entered The Grid competition, it seemed a good idea at the time, 4 x TTs during September - 1 x sprint, 1 x short distance, 1 x mid distance and 1 x long distance, it's been so hot this week I haven't fancied doing TTs but I finally made a start today with the sprint (choice of 100m, 1 min or 500m) the 100m was tempting but I went for the 1 minute, managed 315m (1:35.2 pace), I was gearing up for a fast finish but those last 10 seconds were horrible and all I could do was watch my pace drift 🤣 might have another go at some point. 🤞 it cools down for the longer TTs! |

Speedy, Craggy! Well done, mate, and the cooler weather you'd ordered seems to have arrived. Knocked out my first proper speedwork session of this plan this morning (4 x 90 seconds @ r30+) and was surprised by the paces I was able to hold. A bit cautious on the first one (1:43.9) then went for it after that and the other 3 were under 1:43. Didn't really expect that but it does show that the power is there and it's the endurance end of the scale that I'm needing to work on I think. |

Yes definitely cooler - dammit I've got no excuse now to avoid the longer TTs 😬 Well done mate that's a good pace for 90s reps as they're not far short of 500m! Are you tempted by BRIC this year or just going to see where you are in a couple of months? I don't fancy training specifically for it but if I'm in decent shape come November I might have a look. |

I’m toying with the idea of going to Fitfest as a spectator but I’m not going to race BRIC while I’m there. Just freewheeling through the plan and see where it gets me by year end.
