Mywhoosh vs Zwift vs Rouvy
So far I’ve only used Zwift which is handy for either turbo at home or Wattbike at the gym. Curious if anyone has really dived into mywhoosh or rouvy and if any noticeable pros and cons. I’m going to give mywhoosh a go as it being free is quite appealing and on the face of it seems to do everything Zwift does.

TPV - they are investing heavily in it and it just keeps getting better
Head torches
Went for a run up Arthur’s Seat this morning and whilst we are soon coming out of the darkness in March, thought I should have taken my head torch today. Mine is pretty ropey, bargain basement job, any suggestion on torches that are comfy, decent beam and don’t cost as much as a wetsuit? That aside it was pretty busy up there this morning!

Petzl for me
Calorie deficient
If training for races next summer, should you try be calorie deficient through winter or let weight drop naturally with volume of training knowing when spring comes it’s bigger blocks outside? Personally I’m hoping weight just drops naturally though I don’t really think about my weight

@Dennis Doherty great question. Weight seems to be one of those taboo like issues and should be discussed- not like the backlash that followed from what the winner of tdf femmes said. We are happy to drop a few extra quid on the next model of a bike or components which save x amount of grams or kilos. Some on this forum may have purposely cut weight for taking on hillier or mountainous races, or simply to run quicker where weight, at a certain point, can be a huge advantage. But sure people on here can share experiences of it becoming a fixation or suffering injuries or illness or fatigue from under fuelling which leaves you in a hole you don’t get out of especially if long distance endurance training. Hopefully it just works itself out naturally, and what @Alan Cardwell says as ever is right on point. No point being super light but failing or missing sessions as a result. I for one will not need to worry about a deficit as we approach Christmas….
Ironman Training and racing
When we talk Ironman most people default to the 'brand' that bears the name of the original race. For our purposes - its any LONG distance triathlon. XTRI is not Ironman so we will deal with that seperately. Back in the day before things went a bit nuts there were only 5 Ironman events to go at, fast forward and you can go anywhere in the world to do your thing. The big 5 'as was' Kona Germany ( Now challenge Roth) France ( was Gerardmer, then moved to the old ITU long course in Nice) Lake Placid Lanzarote Who is doing what this coming year and who has done what and can give the crew the low down

Think 5 IMs done Lanza Majorca (race now retired) Tallinn (1st year so course now different) St George Utah (think race now retired) Cork (who knows, but don’t think will see that one again)
New XTRI on the block
We continue to explore the world. New member of the gang Kalem from down under is tackling this bad boy. Great to have him on board. Australian Alpine Ascent XTRI - looks a belter
