The year started with some good training time spent riding various bike and going to the gym as regularly as I have ever gone. Cycle for a couple of hours then weight training to ensure good power outputs. Then I finished my work "cycle" and it was time to recover only gentle exercise allowed. Plus we were away on a break in Devon so there was local beer to try and cream tea to have. Now that we have come back it is time to pick up the pace again.
So yesterday after a particularly lazy day in bed and around the house on went the outdoor training clothes. I togged up and went outside to find I still felt a chill, can't give in though start moving and it will get better. A mile later I was warm and making good time to the sports centre. I could feel the cob webs clear and the remains of cream tea and beer evaporate. A club run ontop of my run over made nine miles and a 10mile spin on a trainer said I climbed 6000 feet and covered the distance in 26mins. I even climbed for a minute at 600watts which was tough but felt good. I notice that recovery is rapid now heart rates return to lower levels more speedily than before. Sore bum now though as the indoor bikes have saddles that I struggle to believe anyoe can find comfortable. ouch!
Still after a few things to do this afternoon it will be turbo time again. Two hours should hit the spot and make things more efficent. ok off to see the world and put some walking miles in.
