(Sorry, late reply...) If I had more spare time and money, the Powermann Long Distance Duathlon looks right up my street, both in terms of endurance and running bias. But I'll likely stick to the running/rowing combo especially as both are relatively time-efficient compared to cycling. I've managed to keep a consecutive training day streak going so far this year (6 days, woohoo!) so I want to keep that going as long as possible.

Good luck with consistency. For the rest of January and probably most of February consistent low to moderate intensity 5-6 days a week is my only only goal. Powerman long distance is a bucket list race for me but I'd need to be running at least 30 seconds per mile for me to do well there and I'm about a minute per mile off being able to really mix it up with the fastest AG guys and with a baby now I don't thats realistic 30s maybe. It definitely suits a runner that can ride rather than the other way round. The Fugitive longer distance duathlon in Marlow might be worth a look i certainly fancy it. Good luck with the training 💪

Good work 💪 you still being able to do that with a baby is a reminder that I'm sure I'll need at times that it can all be done. Luckily like you i guess i was already fit when our little one arrived as i was building for a xc 10 miler at the beginning of December but couldn't make it as she arrived 8 weeks early. I'm the opposite of you for my duathlon strengths as I'm a strong cyclist and just a solid runner so i definitely need to work on my second run strength to do better in a big race. Just more run speed endurance i guess which is why i thought 25-30k at 6 min mile pace in the interim should set me up well for that. Because your such a strong runner especially over the longer distances have you looked at something like the power man races? They could suit you. Good luck with your training and goals for this year and i may see you at the AG champs but I'll be in the v40-45 cat Olympic distance i think unless i can find a middle distance equivalent both non drafting as i can make up time on the bike in a TT effort. I guess you did the draft legal OD?
