Training Log Archive: ba-ba

22km; 28.1kph.
Proof of concept bike to work. Very doable, though we'll see about busier roads on a weekday, managing it whilst still on Covid-mandated early shifts and fitting in with running training when that comes back in.
Road layouts generally OK when I ignored the silly bits.

22.5km/26kph
And back.

Easing about the moors. Body feeling quite smooth and I managed to reign myself in quite well.

2 weeks since the BG but it feels like 3 months, especially with the amount of stuff going on since - mainly in terms of records (I refuse to use the bastardised 'FKT') and impressive feats. It's weirdly left me feeling a bit anxious, cold and irked and I'm not entirely sure why. I suppose if you're a hacker you are completely amazed, inspired and in awe at these gods; if you're an elite athlete you're impressed but sure enough in yourself that your similarly big performance is there for you to take; if like me you're an ok-decent club runner, not young but not old, pleased with what they've achieved but constantly dreaming of higher things, there's a mish-mash of the above but with a hearty dose of 'what if' and 'could I', quickly followed by 'don't be so stupid'. I constantly find myself in an interesting paradox of thinking I'm both better than I think I am and not as good as I think I am, often at the same time. Quite how I pull off those mental gymnastics is impressive in its own right. It's good to air these oddities and I find here easier and more concise than actually vocalising them to an actual person.

Ultb18 fab abs.

Urra Moor loop with Hannah. Felt good and easy yesterday, bit less so today.

Nice and refreshing in the rain. Flat pack warm up.

Ultb17 as I forgot I'd already done it, but it was a good one.

Eas(b)y with Han

There was some cricket going on in town so stopped for a bit of a watch.
