Hi I'm MD. A forty something triathlete who just thought you might be interested in my thoughts on training for the mature triathlete. I am no elite athlete, I am just a trier who still wants to improve as he gets older.

This week

I have been feeling a little off all week and on the training track have been taking things a little easy. The easy week did have one point of high intensity and that was I participated in an aquathon on Wednesday night. The aquathon consisted of a 3km run followed by a 6oom swim and then another 3km run. Obviously this was a tough hitout and I was surprised by my efforts during the first run. It was the quickest I have run for years. The swim was disappointing whilst the second run was average. Overall I was pleased with the result.

Other training consisted of an easy swim on Tuesday, an easy ride on Thursday and another easy swim on Friday.

I feel that high intensity efforts once weekly followed by easy sessions is improving me at the moment and I am looking forward to finishing the triathlon season with some good times.
