So this week is my big week of training, my epic week if you like. Coach Neill has planned in about 23 hours, let's just see if my body holds up to the challenge!The start of this week hasn't been too bad so far (apart from the 2hr15 run in the sweltering heat off a 30 min spin yesterday), but I guess after a 17 hour week last week a little bit of R&R is needed too. Tomorrow we start to step it up with a 6 hour bike (nice and steady pace) followed by a 10k run (thanks coach!). This will be a another big test for me, but a great chance to log some big miles whilst trying out a few more nutrition strategies (just eat loads as a mate told me!). Not sure what is planned for the rest of the week, I'm a little scared to look at the moment to be honest, but I know Sunday will be another big bike day similar to tomorrow, except it'll be 7 hours on the bike followed by a 10k run. Oh, happy days!

Why do a 7 hour bike ride? Surely you'll finish the IM bike leg much quicker than that? I'd have thought shorter and harder would have been better than over-distance - but then what do I know??? Am genuinely interested in the reasoning though.
Your training seems to be going very well. Keep at it mate.
You'll have to run that one past coach Neill mate.
Maybe it's a mental thing? Either mental for riding a bike for 7 hours or to get mentally used to being on a bike for 7 hours! I suppose an IM bike leg would feel short after 7 hour rides?
