Its been a busy few weeks with lots going on behind the scenes at Duathlon Girl, watch this space for new stuff coming very soon! Training is going really well and although winter training can be mentally tough thankfully the weather has been kind so hardly any of those dreaded turbo sessions. I’m over the moon with my new Liv…
Since starting with new coach Chris (part of www.mattbottrillperformancecoaching.com) 6 weeks ago the focus has been getting some running back into my legs. I’ve really enjoyed having set sessions and doing stuff I’ve never done before so it was good to get an early season race under my belt. However, I’ve not done a pure…
1st January, the day when a few of us will be nursing a sore head and resolving never to drink again, to eat less or eat better, to exercise more…. and so the list goes on. Well here’s the deal… I don’t set new years resolutions. Simply because I don’t wait until the 1st Jan…

Only 2nd Duathlon of the year for me and first attempt at standard distance (10k/40k/5k). Goal was simply to qualify for next years Euros. With very little run training I knew I would be relying on my bike split, but after picking up a cold in the lead up, I felt anything but race ready….
