This IMS thing seems to work. Three runs this week, following a strategic build. 1k, 2k, and 1,5k. Sounds like a bit of a joke I know, but for someone who was trapped at 0.5k with no improvements on the horizon, this is huge. Hopefully the trend continues. Two solid swimming sessions in as well, and a decent bike ride. In short, I cannot complain.
We also went down to Iona this Friday to test out Caroline's TT bike on the flats. This experience was extremely discouraging for me. After the end of last season, I timed myself over a 10k run on this road (out and back, so the wind effects should be close to cancelling themselves out) and clocked in at about 18 minutes. (15 would be the ideal, by the end of this season). Caroline came in about 2 minutes after me, which is about right for the gender difference. If we both took 3 minutes off we would very competitive.
Anyways, she got on her bike and basically just pedalled away from me. Clocked in at 18:30. Now, I didn't do the time trial so I can't know for sure, but I would be very surprised if I was any faster than my last time. Which means Caroline has taken 2 of her 3 minutes off.
I blame the bike.
