Playlist 130915/153332

I’ve changed the playlist quite a bit following the past couple of weeks heavy house and dance music and emphasis on fast efforts and quick hills. This week is a bit more varied with some good tunes to start (Tracks 1 and 2), some stuff to lift the heart-rate (Track3) and then some African rhythm (Tracks 5 and 4) before some recovery on Track 6. Then the hard work starts again with Tracks 7 and 8, and a bit easier for Track 9 (potential for recovery) before hitting a hard endurance Track 10. Tracks 11 and 12 are a change, out of the saddle and pumping for a finale. Then finish with Tracks 13 and 14 with the remaining being “spare”

One week to go before ETU Qualifiers for 2014



Training for the European Triathlon Championships

Background

I am thinking about participating in 2014 ETU Triathlon European Standard Distance Championships (Kitzbühel, Austria June 19 2014 - June 22 2014) by competing in Anglian Water Standard Distance Triathlon - 22 September 2013.

Update 14 September 2013
                                           
Well it has been a roller coaster experience getting to this race. I was first planning to do Ironman France and got injured so I did 6 months of rowing whilst I recovered an achillies injury. When I felt good again I entered half-ironman Guernsey and training was good. Then I had the mad idea of doing the ETU Qualifiers. My 25m TT on the bike = 1:02:30 and my swims were at 1:35/per 100 meters (which is acceptable) My 1mile run reps were 5:50/pace and things looked good. Then I got to the track and put in some super fast 200m efforts and have been injured for the past 6 weeks with another achillies injury.

Rehab has been going OK with 3 weeks of nothing, then 2 weeks of walk/jog and cold water treatment, now 1 week of treadmill running and slow 3 milers. My swim is good. I was pleased with half-ironman Guernsey (8th Sept) right up to the puncture I had on the bike, but I am confident of the bike. Failing in Guernsey has given me a bit more recovery time before Anglian Water Standard Distance Triathlon.

So here I am with one week to go!

I did 2 x 3.5miles as a tester yesterday and my running is crap: I reckon I could barely do 44mins for 10k, whereas prior to injury I would have been looking for 37mins. This does put qualifying in serious jeopardy. It is always dodgy doing predictions for races because you don’t know about terrain, temperature, weather and all the other variables including the behaviour and performance of other people. My guess is my times will be circa Swim 00:23:45 Bike 01:05:00 Run 00:46:52 Total 02:15:37. This is a shame because I am capable of better, maybe Swim 00:23:45 Bike 01:02:00 Run 00:39:35 Total 02:05:20.

These are the top ten times of people who have taken part in this years’ qualifiers

I need to be in the top 4 Anglian Water Standard Distance Triathlon

If I raced on-form, I could win. I suspect to qualify I will need to go sub 2:10 so my current performance suggests it looks unlikely for these ETU Champs, but  hopefully I will have a good experience and set myself up for 2014 and maybe an ITU race?

The good news is that Lorna Gwilt is doing really well and I have higher hopes for her performance.

Music for spinn classes w/c  9 September 2013

Mon 5:30pm and 6:30pm at FitnessFirst
Wed 5:45pm at BodyRox
Both FitnessFirst and BodyRox  offer pay-as-you-go

Notes. Track 1 & 2 are warm-up.  3 & 4 are hard and 5 is a recovery so that there is a section where people can work very , very hard and know there is a recovery coming up after. This is good for interval training. 6 & 7 are out of the saddle with fast feet to help speed work, with 7 being a beefier track with a bigger gear. This leads to 8 which is 2 x  flat-out intervals before 9 which is recovery again. The remaining tracks 10,11 or 12 are used as a fast flat. Which one depends on how tired the class looks. The track 14 is the easy ride home. The spare tracks are used for the time before start, and after finish, or as an alternative to the planned set depending on how people feel.
