Zone 2 Sunday in the chilly Autumn sunshine 🍂☀️
Perfect weather to try out my new Autumn/Winter kit from @rocacorbaclothing
Absolutely loved it and felt really strong on my first ride outside for around a month, all felt easy taking climbs 2 or 3 gears higher than the last time I did them. A real confidence booster ahead of the @rocacorbacollective camp at @rocacorbacycling in a couple of weeks 😍💪🏻

Competed yesterday with absolutely zero preparation for it 🤣

Not exactly the smartest approach, but a cracking day competing and a good reminder of where the fitness is currently at… who knew not shifting weight would make shifting weight harder 🤷🏼‍♂️

The best support crew in @gym66hq great effort to all who competed! What a wonderful day.

Back to some actual structured training now. 🫡

Team PDT ❤️🖤

Such a fun afternoon even if my body feels like it’s been hit by a truck!

Never dreamed of lifting some of the weights we did today, especially after not being able to move it during the warm up! Not bad for a pair of endurance gals!✨

Next time can one of the workouts be a 5km run? Thanks x

Saturday’s going to be interesting. 👀

Little competition simulation today ahead of the weekend @gym66hq

A chance to run through the workouts, test a few strategies and find out what’s going to hurt come Saturday. 😂

Good session in the bank. Now time to see how it all comes together - hopefully @str_coaching doing the whole bloody thing 🤣

Roll on Saturday. 🤝

Not hungry before training? 😰😰

You don't need a full breakfast. But regularly skipping fuel before sessions can leave you feeling flat halfway through, slow to respond and really hungry afterwards.

The closer your session is, the simpler your fuel can be.
A banana. A small smoothie. Toast and jam. A sports drink if solid food feels like too much.

Start small. Eat consistently. Adjust as you go. ✔️✔️✔️

Jenny's full pre-training fuelling guide is in this week's mailer — along with her prep-ahead sweetcorn soup recipe for when the season starts feeling like soup weather.

Japan 🇯🇵 - World Championships 🌈

To all those that supported me and my journey to get there from the very bottom of my heart thank you and I am so truly sorry I couldn’t reach that last moment, the one that quest, the one I wanted and the one I worked so incredibly hard for.

This one’s going to take me a while to process as it has taken me to some dark places of which I know will be lessons one day that will help me grow into a stronger human being. But for now I just need to ride the storm.

The support and belief from those around me has been beautiful and those people I will cherish forever so to those people my gratitude is yours forever and thank you.

It’s made me realise even more that sport, training, the process that’s my anchor regardless of the outcome it’s never about that. That’s what makes me get up everyday wanting to take on the world, it helps me prove that I can do hard things so the rest of life isn’t quite as hard.

So if you find yourself questioning whether to do the thing or dreading the a workout, the hard training session or even an event that scares the hell out of you. Remember we get to do this, because when you can’t you will always want it more.

For now I and grateful its reminded me I am lucky to have an amazing group of people around me. Thank you, you are all amazing ❤️🖤

What an absolutely incredible experience.

A massive thank you to @pdtsandc for coaching me through my first Ironman, and to everyone who played a part along the way, gave advice, sent a message, or came out to support on race day thank you. There are far too many people to mention individually, but I genuinely appreciated every bit of it.

There were parts of the training I was terrible at, plenty I didn’t understand, and more than a few moments where I questioned whether I’d bitten off more than I could chew.

And that was the point.

This wasn’t about chasing a time or proving anything. It was about choosing something that genuinely scared the f*ck out of me, accepting that I wasn’t going to have all the answers, and trying to figure it out as I went.

Some sessions went well. Some were awful. Some days I felt like I was getting somewhere, and others I wondered how I was ever going to put the whole thing together.

Race day was much the same.

There were good patches, bad patches, and moments where the finish still felt a very long way away.

Nothing particularly heroic happened. I just kept moving.

And I think that’s probably my biggest takeaway from the whole thing.

I spent a lot of time wondering whether I was doing things right, whether I’d done enough, or whether I’d actually be ready.

In the end, I don’t think I ever really felt ready.

I just got to the start line and found out.

That’s something I ask of the people I coach all the time, and this experience gave me a much better appreciation for how difficult that can actually be when you’re the one in it.

A lot learned about training.
A lot learned about coaching.
And definitely a lot learned about myself.

No perfect race. No incredible time.

Just something I was genuinely scared of and genuinely unsure I could do, seen through to the end.

And a pretty cool sentence waiting at the end of it.

“You are an IRONMAN.”
