Everyone has their own goal or goals and there are several training threads on the forum already, like the WP, PP, Boston, Marathon and "What training" threads etc. It's quite difficult to keep track of it all especially when lots of people are posting very varied training sessions.
Personally, I have found the EIRC 2011 thread really helpful and motivational in the lead up to Manchester's great event yesterday. The two things that have contributed most to this are firstly that, since the number of Free Spirits actually competing at the event was relatively small, it was much easier to keep a handle on everyone's training, and secondly, quite a lot of the people posting on it were aiming for "similar" times (give or take 20 or 30 Watts!)
Now that that is a thing of the past, and with no obvious race focus appearing to replace BIRC (ie around 6-9 months in the future), I think that I'm going to be at a loss for somewhere to share my training with FS having similar objectives. Hopefully, without the geographical constraints on the requirement to train for a specific race, this thread will turn out to be more rather than less inclusive. That is certainly one of the intentions.
I thought that I'd be ambitious and aim high with the title of this thread. I realise that my chance of ever reaching 6:20 for 2k is pretty small, but I don't think that it's non-existant, at least not quite. It is, however, a target that I'm pretty convinced I can get a lot closer to than I am at the moment. In the words of Blackadder's Baldrick, "I have a cunning plan".
So, here you have it, a place to record your training towards that 6:20 goal, should you so wish. All contributions and contributors are very welcome
