Can you do another rep?

I train to improve, but there’s no short cuts. Doing epic sessions although they look good on Strava can really hurt your consistency.

Don’t thrash yourself so hard in training that it hurts your consistency. A good rule I like to use, is could I do another rep? If the answer is no, too many times, it’ll end up hurting your overall progress and potentially end with an injury 😔

Running 🤙

It’s something that is so simple yet can take you places you’d never dreamed of seeing.

But to continue running I highly recommend specific strength and conditioning. I notice when I’m being diligent with my strength and conditioning that I can switch on the correct muscles.

It’s easier to hold form even when going long. My favourite exercise for running has got to be a single leg glute bridge. So if you’re looking to improve your running, get stuck into some s&c.

Are you okay?

It’s RUOK day today, which is a great reminder to check in with those around you.

It’s ok if you’re not doing ok. But don’t go through it alone. Reach out to someone for a chat. We’re here to support each other through the good and the bad.

Picture is of a throwback to the finish of a 10km race. I was ok, but totally exhausted!

Just keep swimming 🏊‍♂️

Easier said than done for many in lockdown. I feel very blessed to still have access to swim in a pool (albeit a little cold - 15 degrees today). I can also jump out into the ocean for some open water practice or do both at the same time.

I actually like doing my warm up in the ocean before getting a bit more specific in the pool.

Today’s main set was fun but a challenge. 8 x 100m @ CSS pace, 3 x 200m @ CSS, then 400m @ CSS. 10 sec rest between all reps.

If you give it a go let me know! Gotta dig on the final 400m 👌

Aero, making pace easier to achieve. But how aero

Aero, making pace easier to achieve.

But how aero are you? Can you get your back flat? I find it really hard to do. I bend my lumbar spine to try and get aero due to poor hip flexor and hamstring range.

This position could be optimised by having more bend from my hips, allowing me to effectively flatten my back. It should also allow for a better head position for seeing what is up the road.

Have you looked at you bike position? What’s one thing you can do to work on getting more aero?

‘PUSH IT!’ The words flash up on @gozwift as I’m suffering and wondering what on earth am I doing.. I eventually complete the first session, and am aching unlike I’ve experienced in a long time.

@gozwiftausnz academy is back, in all forms, road, tri and run. Although I don’t have access to a treadmill at present I’m having a crack at the road academy.

Sometimes it’s important to dig outside your comfort zone to force the adaptations you’re chasing.. but be prepared to be mentally strong, as the workouts are challenge!

My current FTP is 285W, let’s see at the end of zwift academy road + bike workouts from tri academy if I can crack that 300W target 🎯

Are you going to give some of the workouts a crack? Let me know 👍

It’s great to see so much racing going on around the world. It’s inspiring 🙌

It’s sad that Nepean triathlon won’t proceed this year as it’s always a great event and the longest running triathlon race in Australia. Alas, the covid situation here in NSW isn’t in a good place.

So I’ll just have to contend myself living vicariously through the posts of others. Thanks for sharing your adventures 😊

P.s. How good was the @thecollinscuptri ? Watch out, team international is coming 😉

DOMS.. never makes getting to the door in time an easy task 🤪

The cause?! I busted out some spikes for a track run earlier in the week. It’s going to take a few weeks for me to adjust to handling the change from a 10mm to 0mm drop 👟 until then I guess I’ll have a day or two of unco walking 🚶‍♂️ 😊

A good cool down will be important, along with some stretching and rolling to promote blood flow.

Spring is here 🌼

I managed to swim my way through winter (thanks to a wetsuit 👌). Some days were certainly challenging with water temps at 13.1C or 55F. But I always hopped in and try to do 1km..

Sometimes that’s all I could manage before I started to shake and had to call it.. while other times I managed to complete my planned session.

It’ll take a while for the water to warm up, but I’m looking forward to some warmer days ahead!

Did you manage to keep swimming in winter?

400W never felt so good..

You know when you’ve been riding threshold for too long when it feels amazing to go anaerobic ⚡️

The body loves variation. I don’t thing surges are great for overall performance, however mixing up your cadence certainly is 😉

Focus and determination.

When you’ve run 35km further than you’ve ever gone before and still have 30km to go, the last thing you want to do is fall. Although, the temptation to drag your feet or stop is so strong as each extra step is hard you keep going towards the goal you set out to achieve.

I’m so thankful that I had the chance to do @ultratrailaustralia earlier this year. Even though it’s not been the best thing for my triathlon progression, it was great to do something out of my comfort zone.

Set yourself a goal which scares you, and then go after it!

Spring is almost here! Even without events coming

Spring is almost here! Even without events coming up I’ve stocked up on @springenergyau again. I find it amazing for providing sustainable energy in training.

Im excited to try the nature up bars, as sometimes I like to chew. Also, I’m a big fan of awesome sauce and hill aid gels! Im grateful to be an ambassador.

If you’re looking for some nutrition without the sugar crashes than you must try Spring Energy 🌼⚡️

‘I will try 100 times, and if I fail 100 times. If I fail and I give up will I ever get up? No! If I fail I’ll try again, and again and again’ — @nickvujicic

Never give up, the only real failure is when you stop trying. Most so called ‘failures’ provide excellent lessons to grow. So keep going 🙌

Today, 32 years ago my big brother passed.. they say time heals wounds, but I think it’s more you learn to live it. Through this experience it reshaped the way I view the world.

I love the post from my Mum shared:

Today is the most significant day in my year. It's Nathan's gorification day, as I like to call it. It's not a morbid remembrance; purely the day my world changed irrevocably. Sure, there have been momentary lapses, but mostly since this day in 1989, my life has been lived with an eternal perspective. Life and death are only separated by a heartbeat or two. Nathan died totally unexpectedly at 10.5 yrs from a cardiac arrest. Sure there were underlying causes of that cardiac arrest- an autopsy was needed- but the bottom line is his heart stopped beating.
There's no pain anymore. Just joy in knowing Nathan is in heaven with Jesus. No lock downs for him!
Yes there are regrets for what might have been. Luke might have had an older brother he could interact with more. Matthew adored NaNa as he called him. (It was his first word!) We might have more beautiful grandchildren. But regrets are overwhelmingly outweighed by the assurance that this was God's best plan for Nathan and for us. As I said earlier, the imprint left by this traumatic experience changed me forever. To God be the glory!

Work - an activity involving mental or physical effort done to achieve a purpose or result.

Never be afraid of hard work! It makes the achievement all the more rewarding.
