I have now started my 12-week training plan for the Bowood House Duathlon which I will be doing in October. Between now and the event, I have also signed up for a 10k which is in August and a half marathon which is in September, so I've got plenty to keep me ticking over! I find that having goals and events to train for keeps me motivated. 

The training plan features lots of brick workouts, which is when you go from one sport to another, i.e. run then bike. This gets your body used to multi sport training so that when you get to the event there are no surprises!
