Another training camp is over. We had a fantastic two weeks at Club la Santa. The first week was the Spring Triathlon camp with Joe Beer and Dan Bullock, and the second was intended to be a bit of a holiday, but ended up being a training week as well, albeit with a sight-seeing trip to Timanfaya National Park.
Totals for the Camp:
| Cycling: | 22 hrs 30 mins | 418km |
| Running: | 6 hrs 11 mins | 49.8km |
| Swimming: | 5 hrs 05 mins | 5500m |
At the end of January, I returned to Club la Santa in Lanzarote for the JBST Triathlon Camp, hosted by Joe Beer and Dan Bullock of SwimForTri. The main aim for this camp was to get in some start-of-season training, and to get some swim analysis from Dan. Unfortunately, I arrived at the camp with…

Yesterday, I ran the Fraserburgh Half-Marathon. This was my first road half since 2007 – I’d originally wanted to do the Crathes half, but, as usual, I waited too long to enter and it was full. My primary aim was to break the 2 hour barrier, or at least to be close to my last…
Today was the tenth running on the Garioch 10k. I’ve taken part in a couple of the previous events, my last one being in 2013. The race is based in Inverurie, about 15 miles from my house. The weather wasn’t great for today’s race, but it was better than two years ago, when the course…
Coming the day after the KoM sportive, I knew this race wasn’t going to produce any PBs! I’ve run this race many times since my first attempt in 1991. It’s route has changed since the early years, and it’s now based around the beach area of Aberdeen. The route takes the runners from the Beach…
