    Yep this season is slipping away but you've got a good base and definitely time to get properly ready and hit the ground running next year. For me, I found structure and high intensity sessions of most benefit. Consistency week on week, try to never miss sessions, careful diary management... And...

    Running 10k's sub 38, 5k's sub 19 - My form isn't great but I push hard! Done a lot of TT's this year (9 opens), and our local club courses as part of Wednesday evening league around North Yorkshire, bagged 4 or 5 course records so going very well. Done a 25 in 49:57 (r25/3h) this year and 50...

    Not updated in ages but may as well. Had a neck injury earlier this year which stopped me doing triathlon but meant I could focus on TT and cycling. Seen good improvements from not having to run particularly! Username - thepeteh Age - 29 Height - 183cm Weight - 75KG FTP (60min) - 355w FTP...

    It's like cycling heaven here, near endless prefect tarmac and 25 degrees, clear sky, as much or as little climbing as you like... https://www.strava.com/activities/736264267/shareable_images/photo_based/908197/1/8a9c183e-6e53-44a4-ac68-530b077267fa?hl=en-GB&v=1475770255 Checking out...

    Road Cycling

    Did the Fred Whitton route on Sunday with a few mates. Absolutely stunning scenery, never seen anything like it. Hardknott probably the hardest climb I've ever done in terms of technical difficulty, if it was wet I could see it being doubly hard to near impossible. If you can get up there and...

    It's not, its set at a good length as to not bend at the barrel adjuster. http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/cutting-and-sizing-cable-housing#article-section-4 :p

    That would be nice, hopefully get a ride on a fast course next year and bag a good time.

    I'm sorry but it wouldn't. Nobody has ever gone sub 20 on the V212... :confused:

    It was more based on my functional range of movement (for 180K TT, aka a long distance tri bike course), letting me then run 26.2 miles at threshold. :D

    Yep, I agree it's a slow course... it's handy that I know it like the back of my hand, its 15mins ride from my house, do a local tri on it every year too and have seen it in all sorts of conditions and its just not fast. I've had a proper fit by a very well respected fitter but I may...

    V212 16.1km 43m P881 16.1KM 42m :confused: 57m and 81m if you trust mapmyride both flat, one nearly double as flat... (as in, they're both flat)

    The socks were from nopinz and it was their first outing, honestly I can't defend them :D As for position, base bar is quite low, I just use a fair amount of spacers for the arm pad height... It's very well set up for optimal power and comfort for my level of flexibility, particularly around...

    Best times on the day were low 21 somethings... as for the course, it's not a fast course at all, it's has some fair rises and uphill drags. Comparing my ride to the winner yesterday I lost time on every incline to him which I think is down to weight - I'm 76KG.

    Had our club 10 mile TT on the weekend, 22:20, 357w avg. Not strictly a TT guy, my bike is set up fairly relaxed for long distance tri. Happy with time, some fast lads out... I was down in 12th position!
