Just returned from an excellent 2 week training camp in the town of Playa Blanca on the southern tip of Lanzarote. Truely warm weather as the ‘calima’ wind blew in high humidity and high temperatures (max 39deg) from Africa.

Stuck to my normal training plan but added in extra cycling and walking and as I had access to sauna and steam room did extra heat training as well. Was able to focus on rest and recovery, flexibility work etc.

All ready now for the Surgeres 48 hour race (the de-facto 48 Hour World Championships) in south west France on May 16-18th.
