Ian, here's a draft copy of my training plan for your proof reading...
Day 1 - tv
Day 2 - sort kids out
Day 3 - grab a run between family dramas
Day 4 - argue with wife (over something kids have done)
Day 5 - think about and maybe plan a long run/ride but DON'T actually do it.
Day 6 - bike to the shop for a paper
Day 7 - rest day, look after kids whilst the wife does the swimming section of your plan
And repeat until event!
I think its a winner and should keep me in Lego for years!
