If anyone wants to track the efforts of @Alan Cardwell and @Morgan Cardwell at the Strathpuffer this coming weekend, the tracking link is here: https://www.sportident.co.uk/results/Strathpuffer/2026/Strathpuffer/index.html Conditions are looking like maybe a classic snowy ‘Puffer!

The Ego is a pain in the arse. Worse now we have the falsehood of social media. Everyone well almost everyone runs their easy stuff too hard and the hard stuff too easy. Strava is hilarious 'easy run' and HR is in the 160s..right you are fannyboz. Do most of the run volume sub 75% of your real max HR or even better 70%. Thank us later. @Tom Chambers our earlier chat ref a fine coach or coaches that knew all along. Your IM run will be 10-15% slower than your marathon PB ...at least. If you ego fest the bike 10 to 15% plus another 30 mins. Gonna no dae that?

Looking for something from mid July onwards next year. After my A race. More of an adventure than a race. I’ll be middle distance ready. Hurly burly swim is on cards. Anything else?
