Training and diet talk…

Awesome energy biscuits?

In training for what?

In training for what? Ygm btw.

I’ve been reading Chrissie Wellington’s book and she mentions sports nutrition books by Asker Jeukendrup. Anyone read them? Any good?

I’m eating biscuits in training

Is them Rubber biscuits ?.

Fruit shortcake. WTF are rubber biscuits?

Work related training on our new recruitment process. Not the sort of training for discussion here.

Are you super fast then now Dirty?

Work related training on our new recruitment process

So, you work in recruitment.
You work for an Agency ?.

Nope.

Work related training is OT. Work is definitely OT.

Stop derailing my thread.

Dirty – I’ve been putting together a new leg workout for cycling.

yeti makes spreadsheets and daydreams about being as awesome on a bike as me.

I make plans philly, lots and lots of plans, and then I wet dream about you.

Oh !……

Hes management.

I’m on tender hooks this morning…

Did Molly find any chorizo in Madrid?
Did he run around like a maniac in his footy match?
Will the Dirty v’s Molly every happen?

Oh, and today I thought I might talk about massage, rest and recovery.

No.
Yes.
No.

Bit of a damp squid really.

I had a 2 hr active release massage last night and my legs have changed shape 😯

Feel much better for it

Thanks Jamie – I thought it was to do with meat.

Serious iDave? Is that myofascial release? What shape are they now??

They call him, The Noodle.

I’ve managed to eat pretty idavish in Bulgaria for the last couple of days 🙂

The only problem has been that I haven’t trained since the weekend. Given that I have am following Chris Carmichaels training program, should I do intervals tonight when I get home, tomorrow and saturday with a long ride on sunday or skip one of the interval sessions?

Or do what I know i will do anyway and do as much of it as I can unless I feel like I’m going to die

oddjob, intervals tonight, long tomorrow, intervals Sat.

I did Tabata yesterday as I only had 30 mins for lunch. No matter how many times I do it I still feel like I’m cheating myself out of a session.

Legs are proper defined and gnarly TSY, like an old cycling blokes legs should be. new lumps and grooves – they were fecked before.

Oh, I get ya… like a mature version of mine.

I was secretly hoping they’d changed shape into arms or something a bit more unique.

Dirty – I’ve been putting together a new leg workout for cycling.

Spill the beans then!

Oh, and today I thought I might talk about massage, rest and recovery.

Today I am resting and getting a massage tonight, can’t wait as my legs hurt lots.

Yeah, I don’t know if I should share it with both you and Molly. You should each follow your own training paths. 🙂

I rested yesterday. Tonight I dine in hell.

😛 That’s cool, i’m meeting with my coach on Tuesday night…if you don’t share with me, i won’t share with you! 👿

You would have been proud of me last night – i saw stars when doing KB swings!

Awesome… although potentially ridiculously dangerous.

My new legs workout is all about targeting glutes and hamstrings… e-mail me for details.

I felt a little light headed after my third set of deadlift, last night.

Yesterday was day 2 of iDiet for us.

The hens had laid enough eggs for scrambled eggs for breakfast, with diced chorizo tossed in. Mine with bacon, hers with salmon and tomatoes.

For me, dinner was a Mexican bean salad from the student canteen at work with the remainder of the previous day’s pepperoni and houmous. She had a Subway salad box again.

For tea, a plate full of roast veg (carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes and beetroot) with a steak.

No red wine last night 🙁 Drank black coffee, green tea and water all day.

I like the iDiet 🙂

I got through three pints of water last night between putting the kids to bed and going to bed myself, which seems like a lot. Have other people found they’re drinking more water?

“Highlight was climbing to Lluc, descending 12km to Sa Calobra at sea level and turning round and coming straight back up again!”

That’s a fantastic road. Sadly I was in a car. Jealous.

night ride soon yeti? jo needs that rear QR kit thingy too. thinking sat night perhaps?

Sat night? I’m out drinking in prep for the White Horse Challenge on Sunday.

I can post it him?

Couple of days left until London Mara… 7mile at race pace last night, might have a trott out friday.

But more importantly going down to registar this afternoon and will be looking to pick up a Garmin 910.

If I do, it’ll be off to the pool tonight to have a play.

he is getting fidgety about not being able to build it up yet… i’m sure he’d appreciate that!

Ro5ey – do the software update as soon as you can.

I’ve one of the first that came into the country and it had the occasional freak out, of course they may have fixed it now.

Phil – I could’ve done that ages ago… if he’d suggested it / given me his address!

lol he’s a numpty, he’s been waiting for you to come down for a night ride as apparently you were going to bring a bag of stuff down?

hence me hassling you about a night ride (plus i want to ride too of course)

he has little concept that other people might have jobs and plans

TSY… am I right in thinking that if I want to do a 400m swim TT the watch will buzz to let me know I’ve done the required number of lenghts…. I’m rubbish at counting lengths, really really rubbish… it just bores me.

Yeah, bless him, he’s really better off doing what I said and going on the Hope website and trying to work out what / if anything is missing. I’ll then look to see if I have it.

Ro5ey – yes, if you set up the distance alert at 400m. I’d do a warm up first to make sure it’s counting correctly, for some reason mine used to add on an extra 20 at the start of the session.

@rosey, unfortunately you can’t set up planned swimm workouts on the 910 yet, I believe garmin are still working on it.

i’ve told him to text you his address, once he’s sent it to you its prob worth reminding him of those instructions again lol

ooh, I didn’t realise that TSY.

So, quinoa ….. in or out?

In. It’s a complete protein and not really a grain.

Also, I never realised, it’s pronounced Keen-wah.

One thing on the distance alarm… I’d set it for a length or half a length early as mine tends to tell me I’ve done 100m at abotu 115.
