For once, it wasn't a ridiculously early start for our adventure to London, we met at just gone 8am at the train station, there were only 2 of us going to celebrate International Womans Day. I had booked assistance in advance. We were helped onto the train and on our way to the Love Open … Continue reading A wheely good day out…
I started the week strong with an open water swim in Hampton, followed by the 4th Bars and Bells session where we learnt all the different exercises that are possible with Kettle Bells. Monday night was then a pretty intense coaching session for BRJ. I think most people's response when they saw the set on … Continue reading I’ve lost count of what week of training it is…
I'm not sure how it's already week 3 of my channel training but it is and I'm making great progress compared to my level of fitness and activity just a month ago.

This is proving pretty difficult as very few sessions are actually long enough to swim more than about 2.5km; I am a long-distance consistent … Continue reading Windermere Training Week 3
