Ok, I'm not one for New Year resolutions. I figure if you are going to change something in your life you need to get on and change it regardless of the date!
But I had already set the start of January as "lets address the diet" date so my task for the next few days is to research some top tips for shedding almost a stone while maintaining the energy levels required to so some quite intensive training.
It's a rest day for me today having completed a rather punishing 2 hour session on the turbo yesterday. Averaged 13.5 mph over a 2 hour session and with the resistance alternating between 4 and 5 on the turbo. A setting of 4 gives me what I feel on a flat section of road and 5 feels like either pushing into a headwind or cranking uphill. In other words....hard work and I feel it where it counts!
These are still quite basic workouts at this stage. I still have 4 months of work ahead of me but some basic muscle building at this stage is fine. I'll alternate that with road riding and MTB riding where i can. January is not the most forgiving time to ride in the UK.
My other piece of research will be to see if I can find a reasonably priced week abroad, around the end of March so i can go and get a load of miles in a week, somewhere warm. That would be awesome, just need to sell the camper first!
