Although as I find time to write this post it is because of having to pull out of a sportive, the 1066. I've just got swelling over the lateral tendon behind the knee above my stump. I've managed to keep it under control for the past couple of weeks which is amazing considering how much heavy lifting I do at the different places I work, the increase in training intensity but it's finally caught up with me and I need to rest it before it gets out of control! I'm good at managing stump stuff though so will just take it on the chin and us the time to catch up on other stuff👌
Im doing lots of different jobs now both employed and self employed so that has taken some stress off as it means my bills are at least covered, although they are just short term fixes it is still a positive move😀 Them all being manual jobs is not helping with my stump but at least it takes some pressure off not running anymore and is just a case of adapting the management, I was thinking of getting a wheel chair again so I could rest the stump up more at home and on rest days!
Q25/8 Time Trial(TT)
I've not had any more road races but did a TT at the end end of May. Training has gone very well and working with my coach, Ian. The TT was for this type of event fairly hilly as they are for the most part pan flat so to still PB shows how fare things have come and my functional threshold power(FTP) was up by over 50 watts, off the top of my head and with a lower AHR. So all bodes very well👌
Training for my 12 hour TT next year to raise funds and awareness for Arctic One and Noah's Big Charity http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/AdrianHeathfield is very much in the base phase. So just change my Sunday group session which I couldn't get out on anyway because of working Sunday morning into a 4 hour afternoon ride it TT position. It's just long enough at this point to highlight any potential issues with position, rubbing, aches, pains fuelling so adjustments can be made before we start putting the hammer down!👍
Please support me and these two amazing charities if you can http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/AdrianHeathfield
