Core Strength Workout
Here is the Core Strength Workout again that I posted earlier in the year. Do these now once or twice a week - they will hurt the first time but get easier from then on.

Friday Swim
10 of us in the Tollcross pool this morning (i think) - pretty good turnout for a 7.00am session. Even Jack was there though he looked a bit dead at the end.
For those who have done the 3 sessions this week that is over 8k in 4 days.
Well done!!

Review of the week
A nicer week of weather helped the training along nicely last week once Monday had passed by.
We went for our first long run in ages - a 2 hour hilly route around Carmunock & Kittochside in the rain & wind with puddles over our ankles. Not fun & quite painful but we knew it wouldn't get any worse than that.
We got a few runs in - running off the bike after every ride plus a couple of other runs, but no efforts as yet.
We got in some pretty good bike mileage & both feel pretty good. I feel much stronger on the bike now than I did whilst in Lanzarote & the 50 - 60 milers that we are currently doing aren't presenting any problems.
Swimming is still going well - we only had the 2 sessions due to the Tollcross & Hamilton College opening times over Easter but what we are doing is looking ok. A great 58 min 3k continuous swim on Weds.
Wednesday was a crazy day - 3k swim, 55 mile bike, bike hill efforts in the evening & a brick run.
Must do more core & stretching!
Ayr Duathlon this weekend - feel a bit odd about this. I haven't done any Sprint event since before Ironman last October. I know I am strong enough not to tire but a serious lack of any running speedwork may hamper my turnover whilst running. We'll have to wait & see what happens.
We are targetting 16 hrs training this week then have a recovery week next week (though this does include a 100 miler on the Sunday!).

Review of the week!
Last week was week 1 of our 2010 Ironman training plan and it went pretty much to plan. We managed a good 3 hr ride on Monday over Eaglesham Moor in the snow followed by a short 15 min run to start to train our transition legs.
I did an additional big roller session followed by a 5k run brick (cross country in the snow) plus a couple of commutes & G did another 3 hr bike & run with wee Dawn.
We didn't do the Bundy due to the horrendous weather. Maybe this week.
Only 2 swims this week due to Easter hours (2k of efforts on Tues & 3k on Fri).
Whilst we are focussing on our riding our running is not really happening yet so we need to get this kick started ASAP (today!)
We did our first 10 mile TT of the year at Cambusbarron yesterday - great conditions, good course & a few Ek roadies there. I was 25.17 & G was 27.00 - both PB's on our first TT of the year so we can't ask more than that. These TT's are on right through the Summer so we can hopefully get some more in on this course.
We finished up 2 hours short of our 14 hr target, we'll see if we can hit our 15 hrs this week. If the weather is more favourable it would help & it looks like it should improve after Tuesday.
