Back in England

At the finish of the Busselton Half Iron man, i ran the 21km, was exhausted at this point.

This one was taken at the start of the half marathon.... all smiles at this point.

I landed back in the UK on Monday after training for 6months in Australia, i had such an amazing experience and i can't wait until i head back to Perth to train with UWA again.

In general training has been going well, my running has been the most consistent and i have seen a great improvment in speed. Over the past few weeks we have increased our running volume and added hill repeats. I have been doing more 5/10/21km races which are really good training workouts. I feel like im in the best running shape of my life.

My riding has been a bit hit and miss recently, i usualy like to ride around 200-250km per week, with 2 of the rides quality, but i have only been doing 150km with stockbrokers as my 1 quality ride. Despite this i shocked myself a few weeks ago when i did a 2min PB in a 36km hills TT, so i guess its hard for me to tell where i am at with my cycling.

Swimming is always a tough one for me, i have been swimming the same speed for the past 5 years....which isnt bad, im usually one of the 1st out of the water but during my time in Australia swimming took a back seat, our club only swims 3 times per week with an average of 5km per session, so i doubt i will see any improvement there. Hopefully once i get to uni next month and start training with Jack and can get some more time in the pool and start to notice an improvement.

Allthough i feel in good shape i feel like i have so much further to go, like i can be so much better...all i need is to get back into a routine or structured programme.
