I should be at 73 swim miles, 860 bike miles and 441 run miles. Or if I am pushing on towards the stretch targets 84, 1032 and 498.3.
I should also have logged at least 26 each of weights, core and stretching sessions and 13 hours of yoga.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Swimming has mostly been ok for the quarter, but May and June are disguised by good April numbers. Only 10 miles each and 35.4 for the quarter. Against any other year those are still huge numbers though, and my target for the quarter was 35, so I should be pleased. My targets for the second half of the year are to swim less but I don't intend to cut back as much as I originally planned so I should blow straight through the stretch target by year end.
Here is the graphical version, the green line is actuals red and dotted red are target and stretch target. The bike continues to be way above plan as well. I was meant to be doing less on the bike in Q1 as I focus on Bratislava, that went a bit wrong through Q2 as I used the bike as the default for an 'easy' commute rather than taking the train and getting a more complete recovery. that has resulted in being over miles but under-rested. My 10-mile TT PB at Drumoak in May was a good sign, with the new disc wheel I am hoping I can find the 2 seconds per km to get my 10-TT target for this year. 
Running I continue to post much bigger numbers than I need but I also managed to add some speed sessions early in the quarter. 508.4 miles at the end of June puts me more than 65 miles ahead of my target and just ahead of my stretch target.
My binge of 10 consecutive running days in the middle of June means I racked up 81 miles this month against a target of 61. That and a solid 82 miles in April covers the lower 52 miles through May. Over the quarter I was above my target and below my stretch target, which is just about perfect.
The graph shows how much I am running. The steep blue line is from marathon year and can be ignored. So I am above target, above stretch target and way above any previous year (bar one). I really couldn't hope for anything more at this stage.
23 weights and 27 core sessions puts me about on schedule. A little behind on weights, and the binge week of core in May is the only reason that is keeping up. I need to get some focus here.
I am at just over 17 hours of yoga. Still high for year-to-date thanks to the binge in January, but way behind during Q2.
As it is end-of-Quarter I also am due for a check in against other targets.
