Kevins Training Diary 2026

I had hoped that things might have calmed down by now but it seems instead that even more chaos was due to rain down on me.  We still haven't finished unpacking since our move, and while we are generally making progress, my list of jobs to do in the new house is growing faster than i can cross them off. The additional commuting time in the car is eating in to my life more than I expected and being in the middle of the Giro d'Italia means I am also trying to spend a significant extra amount on the bike for my 10% Tours challenge. My right hip is starting to settle down after my injections, which is just showing up that my other hip is not great and my back and pelvis are worse. I have a bit of a gap in racing now with just one serious race before heading out to Spain in 5 weeks for Euros. My Annual tragets are continuing to slip away from me but at this point in the year there is no real advantage to chasing that backlog of volume. I will accidentally close the bike numbers over...

A mess of four weeks in here as life has been chaos and I haven't had a chance to even sit down for 20 minutes to type this. I am only getting to it now because I am sat in my mum's house this evening waiting to go in to hospital for injections in my hip tomorrow.   Within this block we had to put the dog to sleep, sold my house, moved in to my new house, did 5 races, qualified for next year's World Champs in Edmonton, and generally struggled to cope with the enormous chaos of life.  I have split the numbers for the two fortnight blocks so they are more comparable to a normal post. I have now lost commuting as a training option which is going to hurt my numbers until I can get my new gym set up properly and pick up those numbers at home.  Actuals, (T arget) - Weeks 15 & 16 Swim 3.2   miles / 5,100  m.  (5.25 miles).
