Feeling distinctly average in the interim between my races at the moment. This is my two-week recap and a day in the life of training 👊 Just getting it done and grinding away.

Hopefully see you out there

[@TheTrailRabbit]

Recommend getting some bloodwork done. If it's been 2 weeks and you still feel something's off you may be right.

[@Josh_lewis]

Yeh definitely something to consider! I’ll see how I come around this next week when I taper into the race. I always find it hard to differentiate between training fatigue and other factors. It’s easy in the winter block as there are very little variables in comparison to race season

[@TheTrailRabbit]

​@Josh_lewis I had this feeling of deep fatigue I couldn't shake in my last training block leading up to oceanside. Turns out I was iron anemic with really low RBC/hemoglobin etc. Hope it's just the hard training and nothing serious for you.

[@Josh_lewis]

Yeh me too mate, I’ve struggled like this in the past when pushing the boat out a bit but have often come good again when coming up for air. 🤞

[@MR-wh5wp]

What long distance triathlete training over 20hr a week doesn't feel shit though? 😂

[@TheTrailRabbit]

Feeling like shit for weeks on end isn't normal. Even with a high training volume. Your body is probably trying to tell you something.

[@Josh_lewis]

It’s two weeks on an interim between two races where I rightly or wrongly put in a shift of training 2 x 30 Hour weeks. It’s all in context isn’t it. I’ll report back after these next two races as to whether or not I messed up. But agree, that if it’s a over a sustained period and there is no sign of recovering when rested up then there is probably something wrong

[@eitanshushu]

with t100 and IM pro series, why do challenge races ? seriously, trying to figure the rational

[@Josh_lewis]

To be honest it’s mostly financial. I literally can’t finance going for the higher positions in the IM pro series and I haven’t been selected for PTO. In order to place high in the IM series I’d either need to be going to both the world championships (which are Kona and Taupo, both of which are really expensive) or do 3 full Ironmans, and to do that would require globe trotting as well which I just can’t afford. Hopefully I’ll be in a better position next year 😔
