I plan on weighing myself weekly, however i got on the scales on December 28th and I weighed 79kgs.....basically deep down I'm a vain bugger and even tho 79 is fine, I want to get the abs back (one of the fundraising events for my R.N.L.I Ironman mission is a topless calendar with my mates ha ha ha, I don't think I've ever had to do so little persuading!!!) and I always found that when I've been around the 72kg mark my fitness/performance has been at it's best. With a marathon coming up in a mear 7 weeks since re-starting training again, half ironman and the big Ironman I want to be at my best soon!
What hasn't helped but I don't regret one bit as it was the funniest few days in a while was a 3 day bender in Edinburgh over new year. They definitely know how to celebrate New Year!
Since then I've been back eating pretty much the way I do when it's training time - Anything that's lived, grown or been planted and except for one bagel and soft cheese I've stuck to it well. The plan is 1-3 meals a week treats e.g. takeaways or an unhealthy option.
Anyway weighed in at 77.5kg today, I was pleasantly surprised and on top of this I've put in some cracking training sessions. BOOM, its on the way back in style!!
Training wise this week I've done 2 runs one being a tough 10miler, a cross fit session and about 4 sessions on the turbo trainer - they've all been intense which I'm convinced is the key to getting leaner as well as improving performance, I'm doing a fraction of what I was last summer and to be fair, I've done no Junk session - if I've not been fresh I've rested when I've trained I've pushed it very hard. Despite partying most weekends over the last 8 weeks I'm not far off where I was last summer and think I could surprise myself come the Blackpool Marathon even tho I'm only running twice a week, one long run and one flat out run. Maybe beating my 2.59 is beyond me but I really don't know and I'm only running 2 times with the rest being cycling!
Anywere there we go - week one - 77.5kg a drop of 1.5kg in 10 days. Decent start :)
Personal training blog as well as my own training and nutrition blogas lots of people have started asking me questions about my training and nutrition, how, why and when, what etc - il try and keep updates of training, nutrition and keep it open for any questions and advice. Also my training is not perfect and I'm always learning but it's just what I'm currently doing to live for the adventure and the next challenge!

Losing the xmas weight
It begins - got on the scales today and since October where I decided to take a rest I've put on 7kg ha ha ha. Time to get that right off! I'm starting today as I'm fed up of all the crap eating and insane amounts of alcohol which has made me feel like S**t!
How am I going to do it?
No fad diets, the main method with me usually involves a fair bit of exercise, most of which is of a high intensity and good eating. I'm good when it comes to eat lots of vegitables which i think helps a lot - just need to cut out the crap. I think within 8 weeks I can get back to a lean 72kg.
Another of my ethos is that whenever possible my post workout meal is a big bowl of oats with milk, banana and berries.
Training wise it's going to be a big year with the main event Ironman Wales and typical of me I've had a mad day where I want to do loads of events and just entered a marathon which is only 9 weeks away even though I said I wasn't going to do one this year up until about 10mins ago!!
Training will be (roughly) 2 runs, 2 swims, 3/4 bikes and 1 conditioning session if I can fit that in. It will be interesting to see how I now run this marathon from 2 runs a week instead of the usual 6 or 7.
The churn begins and the time to get back to game face weight - will update weekly.

My views on running a sub 3hr Marathon
I don't know if it was a correct way or a wrong way....not that I think there is a right or wrong with running a sub 3hr marathon, everyone is different but the way I ran 2.59 marathon was with high volume. However looking back I'm sure I did way too much and in turn went in to the Marathon very tired, just scrapping through under 3hrs! It was a disgusting pain from about 16m and I think the only reason I did it was because for some reason I've never been so determined!
Looking back I was running about 15/20 miles over last Christmas then about 12 weeks out I started upping the mileage. About 8 weeks in I peaked and did a 1.18 or 1.19 half marathon and was flying - I was ready then! Up to this I'd done a couple 17 milers and I always did a weekly marathon pace (6:45min/mile), I think the longest being about 12miles hilly at 6.45min/mile. I think I was running about 50miles a week at this point with a long run, a marathon pace run and a flat out run weekly filled in with 2 or 3 very slow runs. If the marathon was then I would have been closer 2.50 I'm 100%!
Here comes the c**k up I think. I was buzzing after the half marathon borderline too confident and thought bugger it I'll enter an Ultra! I entered Cardiff Ultra (50miles) 4 weeks after the marathon, so instead of tapering for the last few weeks I increased the milage 80 miles and even ran one 110mile week! Looking back that's sick! I tapered for a week before the marathon, in turn struggling through the worst pain I've had in a marathon to scrape under 3hrs! Never again am I doing that sort of milage 3 weeks before a marathon. I ended up doing well in the ultra but that wasn't the goal - the goal was to smash 3hrs!
Rounding it up, for me I could have trained for a marathon in 8 weeks and arguble posted a very good time and definitely no more than 50-60 miles. Doing this milage for a week or two at most. Next time maybe..
Everyone is different but for me I'd say no more than 50miles and I've met people running 2.50 marthons from 25 miles a week or so they said. Iv'e also met people running 100+ and doing about 3.15. I don't think people realise they've done too much untill it's too late, probably best to be slightly under done than over.
There we are, enough said - Merry Christmas & Happy New year

The benefits of max intensity workouts!
The last 8 weeks have seen me take a serious break from the volume and running, I've mixed things up a lot and bar one or two 90min bike sessions, probably no session has been longer than 45mins with most being under 30mins. I've switched off every weekend and majorly relaxed on the nutrition front.
In all honesty, I've put on some weight but I actually feel great again. I put in some class workouts and even put in some PB's, and with another big year coming up with the Ironman in 2012 it's been needed. The secret I think is the fact that I've trained to a very high intensity....having to collapse on the floor post session in exhaustion intensity. I wouldn't advise it unless your very comfortable with pushing yourself and have been training for a good 6 months, if not longer but I'm seeing some great results whilst not letting it all take over my life.
1) It doesn't have to take over 100% of your life to get to a very good fitness level and be very healthy.
2) Being able to switch off is key to fitness gains, something I've definitely been guilty of in the past.
3) There is no need to do huge volume unless someones actually training for a big endurance event as I find volume leaves you fatigued for longer, mentally more than anything.
4) 20mins can be enough, even less than 10mins depending what the session is. So there is absolutely always time!
With that said, as well as getting the Personal Training up a level, my main goal for 2012 is to be able to complete a good Ironman without it taking over 100% until about 8 weeks out. I do not want to peak to soon at all, so except for some shorter triathlons, runs, cycles etc I'm only going to do one big event in the year before the Ironman, a half Ironman. I'm also going to allow 2 days off every week until about 8/12weeks out when I'll have to pick the volume up.
Finally, the way I'm training at the mo i think with 8 weeks marathon training I could get smash my 2.59 to bits but I don't think I'm going to do one to find out next year as it leaves me to drained and I want to keep myself motivated for the big one!

One thing after the other, ending the year on a struggle!
Just over two weeks to go until the 3 marathons, an event that is definitely one to far for me this year. It's been an epic year for me with some of the events I've achieved to do, and do fairly well in as well as things to 'tick off' as such.
However, I've done a school boy error this year of just pushing it and pushing it, going further, pushing myself to the limit then going again without a real rest and like I posted before it's caught up with me and since I started with my love for fitness and challenging myself to the max I've never had a few months like the last. In simpler words it's been SHIT!
To top it off, after a good consistent week last week I ran today and my hamstring stopped me again. The hamstring that last stopped me during a 40mile event I did back in August. So again now I'm on a stop and it's almost depressing, which I don't like saying because realistically there are far more important things in life than running but honestly the last couple of months has been crap and made me really reflect back on why I started training in the first place.
It was because I loved it and enjoyed it after working all day or just as a chill out as well as enjoyed sports. To an extent I don't like how serious it's all got, all of which is my own doing. Instead of challenging myself in these events I've raced them all and it's taken all the fun out of it. It's left me paranoid with the amount of training I need to do, thinking I cant stop even when I need to which is disastrous and something I'm getting myself out of this year before it gets bonkers! 2012 there is only one event I'm training for, the Ironman which will be much more refreshing as I know I'll be crap at it so the only goal is to complete.
So long as my leg heals now, I suppose even if I do nothing for two weeks I wouldn't lose much more so I'm just going to have to change my attitude to the coastal challenge and just do it instead of race it.
Enjoy it, that's what it's all about.

Lost Motivation
Since I started doing marathons and more I've never struggled for motivation, never struggled to get on with long sessions, thriving from the fact I'd been doing them and always getting better and better. I remember running through the town at 5am last winter on a Sunday morning having missed some night out and watching a couple walk home from the Saturday night because Sunday was the only morning I could fit in a 4hr day on the trail. Not at one point was I thinking 'why am I doing this?' I was just so pumped to get myself in to the best possible shape for last years 3 marathons in 3 days. I remember when I was so pumped to run a sub 3hr marathon that when at only 13miles I was thinking I cant keep this pace going instead of slowing I gritted the teeth and pushed on to such an extent that tears were running down my face in the last few miles and once I crossed the line in 2hrs 59!! I was collapsed like a fool trying to convince St.Johns ambulance that I didn't need a wheelchair. That effort was down to pure determination and motivation to do something that 4 years ago I thought was not possible at all! I loved it.
From that high I decided to do a 50mile running event only 5 weeks later. So hardly rested after pushing myself beyond breaking in the marathon but I was still motivated as mentally I was buzzing from the marathon. I read the other day, Paula Radcliffe saying after a marathon she takes 3 complete weeks off, and that's a pro athlete doing that so looking back it was too much with the level I'd pushed myself for the marathon.
Completed the 50mile in fifth place in 7hours 45mins to even more agony than the marathon. Literally twice the pain.
If I wasn't so competitive and just did these events for fun not to the ultimate max then it's easy to do all the time. Honestly think just 'doing' a marathon, half marathon is easy, it's doing it to your limit that takes it out of you. Notice that the people who do serious distance events almost weekly are not that fast at all (except for a few amazing athletes, but that's why they are amazing athletes) for two reasons, they either don't push themselves to the max, which is absolutely fine as they just do it for 100% enjoyment or don't get that much faster because they are never in recovery mode.
Either way there is nothing wrong with it but personally I do these events because I want to be the fastest, fittest that I can mixed in with the fact that I love training.
However in the last two months I've really struggled. I've lost all my motivation and training has become a chore more often than not. All I want to do is train how I want, when I want, socialise aka enjoy the weekends and just keep myself healthy for a good couple months then after the new year look forward to the Ironman, the only big event I'm going to do next year. After the 50mile I should have rested up and just enjoyed keeping myself healthy until 2012 but for some reason I'm doing the 3 marathons again this year! I've hardly put the work in for it but keep trying to force myself to as I've got that 'time' from last years event in the back of my mind. Physically I can do it, just do it slow but mentally I cant hack putting my body through some obscene levels of pain again so soon after the last. Especially another running event, it's one reason why I cant wait for the new year and a new goal in an Ironman.
Last weekend is a good example for me of how we are all sometimes guilty of over worrying about stuff like this which at the end of the day are not that important. There only important to yourself. My sister completed her first half marathon in just under 3hrs, she was chuffed and for once I decided to watch the slower runners coming in and seeing how happy everyone towards the back were at getting to the line was amazing. Then there was me hanging my head because I'd run 4mins outside of my 1.19 PB - not just me, most of people around me hardly looked happy as again all too often we put too much pressure on are selves. At the end of the day I was in the top 100 of a 15,000 field and was disappointed. It's rather pathetic if I put it in to perspective.
I actually enjoyed the event more than anything in a while as I'd barely thought about times or anything until I was at the start line and just enjoyed the whole day and atmosphere which made it great! Too often I am so pumped with time goals that I don't really enjoy the day. Looking back I didn't enjoy the London Marathon at all, not because it isn't amazing, it is! It's probably the greatest event around, 26 miles with not one section with no support and the city taken over by runners and supporters who are doing something brilliant. On top of that the people you meet are awesome, everyone so outgoing. I was so focused on the sub 3hr that it almost killed me on the day and didn't allow me any time to take in the day and mix with people - Saying a sub 3hr marathon is something I always wanted so amazingly happy with it but it does take over. One day I'm going to do a marathon in fancy dress and just be there purely for the fun of the day. That's when I was hugely motivated, I'll get that back but I need a rest.
It's strange how someones mentality can determine how hard you train. Mentally I'M NOT at the races at the moment, I'm burned out and wonder what to do about the three marathons. Maybe I'll just do it as one last thing but just take it easy and enjoy the day, I know mentally that will put me in a better place instead of stressing about doing well in it. Just enjoy the experience now that I've paid for the entry.

Psychology's role in Endurance Sport
I'm no sports psychologist and to be fair know very little about it but I'm adamant that a persons mental state plays as much if not more of a role than a persons fitness and general conditioning for endurance events.
To start with I know guys who are in better shape than I am but would no way even attempt a big endurance event. They know it's going to push them to hell and beyond and that's before your body has started to cramp up or hurt so much that it's begging for you to stop moving! I read somewhere that you as the person is both the solution and the problem. I think this is true, You've either got it or you haven't. If you haven't you don't even think about some silly challenge, but if you have got the state of mind then it's all you think about. When one things completed, achieved, not long after theres always need for something else. It's just the way it is.
I sometimes wonder why does one person of a similar fitness level to the next think something is impossible whilst the next will think it's totally possible?
Personally I just tell myself weeks out, this is going to hurt like hell but mentally I prepare myself for the pain and suffering and when it comes cope with it best I can, with just one rule don't stop moving unless it's absolutely got to a horrendous stage :) Every time I do a big endurance sport I mentally get stronger, I start thinking about how fast I could do something, or I wonder if I could do X or Y?
To sum it up I'm decent at running far, ok on the bike but none existent at swimming, I've never done a triathlon and haven't been in the pool for over 18months yet I've just gone and entered an Ironman. Granted I'm not doing it from scratch but it's out of my comfort zone so is hard, probably the most challenging event I've done to date.
Anyway that's 11 months away so once Xmas is out the way that will be the main goal. For now I've got three marathons in 3 days coming up along the coastal path which is going to be tough but physically I know I can do it as I did it last year. So know it changes to a mental challenge, how much can I push myself to finish as high up the leader board and improve on my 4th place last year? That's probably up to what sort of mental state I'm in, I'll have prepared myself mentally as well as physically by pushing myself to the limit in training, as strange as it sounds to just practicing suffering so that come race day I'm ready.
All in all as much as to do well in these events/challenges/races you have to be in fantastic physical shape, i'f your goal is just to finish something, regardless of how long it takes then if your mrntal state is good then theres no reason why you can't achieve something that you can only imagine possible at the moment.

That's probably up to what sort of mental state I'm in, I'll have prepared myself mentally as well as physically by pushing myself to the limit in training, as strange as it sounds to just practicing suffering so that come race day I'm ready.
All in all as much as to do well in these events/challenges/races you have to be in fantastic physical shape, i'f your goal is just to finish something, regardless of how long it takes then if your mrntal state is good then theres no reason why you can't achieve something that you can only imagine possible at the moment.
