Kevins Training Diary 2026

A week late posting this again as I still can't get out from under the pile of jobs that have come with moving house. I am managing to keep putting miles in the pool in to keep my charity swim effort going.  https://swimit.macmillan.org.uk/fundraising/kevins-fundraising-page1303 I am slightly ahead of schedule, but knowing I will have a short week when I am in Spain, I need to be.  I am training well though. I have been getting out on the mountain bike. Nothing technical but having fitted a power meter I have found myself riding very differently.  I also managed my fastest 5k since 2023 with a 19:35.

My run numbers don't look terrible, but then I put a third of them in to one run.  My mountain bike has been in pieces since I decide to install my di2 kit tha I have had since Xmas, only to find out that half of the drivetrain parts I have to go with it don't fit. So I had to locate a new chainring and I have an off-side crank on order coming from the USA.  I have been on my new turbo trainer though and doing some proper turbo sessions rather than just pedalling miles to fill out days of my 10% Tours challenge.  Actuals, (T arget) -  Swim 5.3   miles / 8,500  m. ...
