Fitness is building

Walking from the pool to work the other morning I realised that my fitness is building.
It is always hard this time a year to have confidence that the training you are doing is enough or appropriate. The key though is to not overreach. You can't go hard all year round and expect to improve and this my friends is not the time for hard.
Right now the focus is consistency always keeping in mind the need to stay healthy. Being off sick for two weeks sets you back four to six. My consistency has been a bit off but I have fought off a couple colds and keep getting a little bit fitter each week. So all in all I am winning the battle.
With all the colds and flu that float around this time a year it is even more important to pay attention to sleep and eating. Working in retail I often feel bombarded with germs. There isn't much I can do to avoid it other than washing my hands regularly. If you can avoid getting sick you increase your chances of staying consistent.

A little update of where I am at with a couple things.

Long continuous swim is at 2000m.
Long Ride is now 2 hours (trainer).
Long Run is now up 84min.

I am more or less on track for my New Years Goals.
Riding has been a bit behind but so long as I can progress from here I will be on track.
