The final run in to Dartmoor has begun. Every weekend from now until June 23rd is accounted for and most of the midweek training plans itself.

My buzz phrase is Slower and Faster

My interval and threshold training will be harder,  much harder and my endurance work will be easier, much easier. I will try to stop myself clocking up mile after mile just below my threshold.

My main concern is the 3 day Kerry Sportive. I reckon it might be the hardest thing I do this year and I hope I recover in time for Dartmoor. Last year I don’t think I recovered from my ‘bonk’ on the Wicklow 200

Off to Lancashire and Yorkshire this weekend. Will manage two easy spins. Then back to Hill repeats next Wednesday.
