Ian Martin

Slightly hungover, should be doing at least a couple of hours on the bike but now I’m heading back into work for half a day. Yay. Me.

Spotted on my way home tonight. Reason? To bore you lot with training updates

Dragged my arse to the gym to get this done and to wrap up week 6 of Ironman training. Starting to pay off now and Garmin is starting to like me again. Which is nice. Shred plan also starting to pay off but long way to go!

Decided to not go on the spin bike at the gym and went out into the Kent countryside instead! Chilly but lovely to get out. Now trying to warm up at home!

I officially have 24.5 years until retirement. Fuck. My. Life.

Doing a new shred thing and inside 4 days I’ve somehow banked 3000 calories! Was setting my daily calorie intake too low and was stuffing my face after a while and wondering why I was putting weight on after losing during the week. Hopefully this works!

5 weeks of Ironman Training and I’ve covered:

82 miles running
234 miles cycling
10 miles swimming

It’s only going to get longer and harder… 25 weeks to go 😬

Looks great!

Been banned on X for saying a ball hits a player on the stomach. Bit of a joke really

Volunteering at Hoblingwell Parkrun followed by 2 hours on the bike, more than likely in the gym is my morning. Can’t wait for the weather to be a bit more decent so I can get back out on my road bike and into the countryside instead of people watching in the gym doing half arsed workouts

To be fair most of my posts on X and probably here will all be about my Ironman training. Plus random little things that pop into my head. This is when you see how boring I am 😂

Ah give it a whirl, see what you think? Depends on how the analytics are on this. I don’t use this a lot but may do once I’ve worked up decent followers (obvs you) haha

Ah you’re here! Yeah I get a lot of bot accounts trying to scam me. Quite funny to play along sometimes

Tubes were all kaput!

Kings Cross was awful earlier!

Hope Brian wasn’t too bad after!!

Should have burned out your eyes, would have been less painful!

Xmas starts December 1st and I shall die on this hill!

Did that a few months ago, managed to even finish the series for the first time ever. Brilliant comedy!

Na night

Great ball by Kane #ENGROI

I am genuinely impressed 😂😂

Agreed to go out for a ride this morning, been asked to pick a route which I can’t be arsed to do. And it’s bloody freezing too!! #Ironmantraining

Hey!

I once got banned for calling Lily Allen a cunt 😂😂

Hanging out of my arse after work drinks, I never seem to learn when to say no..

Training gaining a bit of momentum, but volunteering to work late one day a week, having either training or work events seemingly once a week and then catching up with family every weekend makes Ian a very tired boy.

He just didn’t like Steve Holland who mugged him off. Yeah it’s a contentious decision but we will see how it pans out
