stats of the week: run 20 km, cycled 37 km, gym 2 h
Performance is slowly creeping in the right direction, though I’m still a far cry from last year’s form. Back in 2024, I clocked 4h36 in London. This year, the mission is simple: stay under 5 hours - still ambitious, but hopefully doable!
This week, I managed a consistent 15K run, which bodes well for the season ahead… unfortunately, a bit too late to make much difference for London.
We’re thrilled to be back in our beloved Provençal village, Mollans-sur-Ouvèze. The tourist hordes haven’t arrived yet, the local bar is closed for holidays, but - thankfully - the bakery remains a steadfast source of joy (and carbs).
My first bike ride in France ended with some unexpected excitement: the saddle mount gave up mid-ride. Fortunately, I managed to stop without kissing the pavement. Close call - would've been a very un-fun way to DNS the marathon!
This little break let me ride back for 18K without a saddle mounted.
