Kevin's Training Diary 2025

I have skipped writing a post for Weeks 51/52 as I basically limped to the end of the year on my calf injury and haven't done any biking and minimal swimming.  Here are my end of year numbers are mapped against the targets I set  this time last year. I still have some sort of low-level illness that I am still struggling to get a diagnosis on, (the General Medicine department at the hospital have discharged me and basically given up trying to find what it is, and the only test they still are considering is sending me for a sleep study) and my available time to train is being impacted by coaching, work, and general life.  On the targets though, a frustrating number of the volume targets were going to be green up until I tore my calf and had to take three weeks off in December.

My year continues to dribble to an end as my calf strain basically wiped out this fortnight.  I have managed to get in the pool still, and even done a bit of aqua-jogging but basically I missed out on ~50 run miles and ~55 bike miles, both of which look like they are going to be decisive in missing my annual targets.  2.5 more miles in the pool will at least take me past last year's total and I should be able to get that this week. On the bike I am already past last year and past my mountain biking target for the year. And I am still 52 run miles short of last year's total, but with 17 days to go and only 10 work days in that, I can still possiby get past that if my calf injury allows me to get some consistent running. Same goes for all 4 of weights, core, stretching and yoga. All better than last year but worse than targets. So I am possibly going to come up short on all but one of my volume targets (mtb miles) but still having had a better year than 2024.  Actuals, (T a...
