I came across this little gem while on Slowtwitch this evening. It really made me laugh. There's a lot of debate about who it's aimed at but I just think it's funny that he should choose to do this right after crossing the finish line. He must have been running with a whole lot of anger in him. Whoever it's aimed at certainly provided some fire in his belly.  I reckon he'll be out for a 3rd title later this year. Hopefully I'll be there (way behind of course) to see him do it!

I posted the image and the text above a little too quickly. It turns out that if you look very carefully it's actually a church spire in the background and he's really just punching the air. Click here for the proof. 

Training Log – 26th Feb – 4th Mar – 6 weeks to go

Click the thumbnail to see a bigger version of the last 18 weeks of training. 

The above graph shows the overall time per week that I've trained thus far. As you can see it's got a nice upward trend to it. I was taking a look at the last 18 weeks before IM Lake Placid and noticed I average 16 hours per week, including rest weeks! I've trained quite a bit less this time but I believe I've trained a lot smarter. The other main difference is that I would gain a lot of hours per week in the past from commuting. I have zero commuting in my life at the moment.  Every session has a purpose. I'm hoping to complete over 20 hours training this week.

This week was a rest week. I'm not good at rest weeks. I was supposed to do 13 hours this week but only ended up doing 10. I just can't get motivated on rest weeks!
