I'm back

I'm back from my trip to Australia. I'll be posting photos regularly over the next few weeks.

While it is summer here in Tokyo my main focus until it starts to cool down will be the bike and swim. I'll gradually keep my running going and limit each session to around 30-40minutes until I'm sure my feet can handle the load.

In the meantime I'll continue to focus on building up my strength and endurance on the bike. I'll be mainly focusing on improving my technique in the pool.

C u soon.

Congratulations Kirk on completing another IM last weekend in Canada. I followed you around the course all night. Top effort. Looking forward to talking with you soon.

Training Thoughts and Ideas
Here is a very good articles which explains how to set up your training zones. It is a an easy read and explains clearly how you should go about improving your Ironman paces at Aet (up to the top of zone 1).

It also explains when, why and how you should train in zones 2,3,4,5a.
