Really fun swim training session with #IpswichTriathlonClub this morning, focusing on streamlining breathing and really getting used to minimal extra head rotation to improve efficiency.

Lots of water up my nose and in my mouth but I'm getting the hang of it finally!

Did a timed 300m warm up swim which came out at just over 7 minutes, so might have to revise my expected swim time for the sprint triathlon in the summer!

Testing out the new trisuit, new helmet and my cycling glasses before using them in anger!

Suit will take a bit of getting used to as it's got a lot less padding than my bib shorts, and the helmet is great but haven't quite got it dialed in for comfort quite yet, needs a bit more tweaking!

Loving the TrainingPeaks Virtual visuals and especially the super handy little tick that tells you how many of each interval you've completed, so simple but so helpful!

Time for a pre race #flatlay before the @dorneylake duathlon tomorrow!

Checked in, kit checked, bike checked, time to relax!

Quite nervous as I'm very new to the bike and haven't been on track with my running at all this month, the goal is to go out there and try something totally new, and hopefully have a bit of fun in the process!

Training with EDS Nov 24, 2024

One of the most important things I've learned as an athlete with #EhlersDanlosSyndrome is the importance of taking care of your feet.

No matter what sport you do, caring for your feet should be one of the high priority things on your radar to prevent injury and support your performance.

Here's a few notes from my experiences as a runner, cyclist and weightlifter: https://trainingwitheds.com/blog/articles/the-importance-of-caring-for-your-feet-when-training-with-eds
