Good workout

Road today out to Bowna thinking i’d take it easy for 3-4 hours. Nope, didn’t happen. Sister called to ask if i could babysit so i sprinted back into town for about 20 minutes and completely wasted my legs, good workout though. Felt good to be at such a high pace with little training so far, i can see with a few more weeks in the legs, my speed is going to be the highest its ever been. 40 kph here i come!!!
DST – 46.509 km
MXS- 45.9 kph
AVS- 22.2 kph
TM- 2 hrs 05.57

I didnt get to keep the HR entries because of babysitting but the HR was pretty high after the 20 minutes of sprinting on the easy ride . Was an average of around 160 for easy riding. That shows my fitness isn’t at its best yet cos im still taking a fair while to recover.
Checking my HR the morning after and the HR is pretty high for sitting at the computer, best i take an easy ride or the day off. I might just do some weights instead.

Spin Spin Spin

Todays ride was a little easy with mainly 2nd gear spinning. A litle bit of calf pain from the speed but with time the muscles should become use to it.

MXS- 39.9 kph
AVS- 20.2 kph
Tm- 1 hour 05.03

Road Ride

Back on the road today and no major trouble, just casually road around, will be interesting to see the HR info. Spent a little bit of time on the mountain bike the past week with riding to my sisters.

DST – 31.811 kms
MXS – 33.6 kph
AVS – 22.6 kph
Time – 1 hr 24.35

HR
Time – 1 hour 28
AVG – 143 bpm
Max –212 bpm

Looking at the data, i put out a few kilometres which is great, the average speed was a little low but that will pick up with time on the bike. The Average HR was perfectly where i wanted it. I didnt want it too high. It was in the aerobic zone, my aerobic zone is 140-160 bpm which is great.

And it starts again

Ok so here i go again on one of my training schedules. I will see how long i last this time. I’m not going to set my self a task of training per se but rather to just get out and enjoy the weather and the bike ride for what it is. I’m not going to force myself, if i feel like a ride, i will, if i dont, i wont. Simple, i think by working on this, i wont tire myself out with boredom or over training,i will see how i go. Well anyway, todays ride was good. I tested out the legs with some simple hills and a couple of sprints. The legs feel sore from lack of work.

Ok so again i punctured today and i remember last few rides having issues with tires. So i will see how i go about finding some decent tires for the season ahead. They do really give you a headache. I didnt even bother to stop and change the flat. I rode home on it flat which isnt the best idea but you know how it is.

DST – 16.720 kms
MXS – 42.5 kms
AVS – 23.7 kph
Time – 42 mins 27 sec

HR
46 mins 43 seconds
AVG HR – 152 bpm
