205 miles in a day (Tommy Godwin Challenge) - the Progress thread

[nickyboy]

After starting off so well, Miles seems to be tailing off.

I did express some concern at the time that his average heart rate was much higher than Steve's or Kurt's. I presume those two have concluded after many years of endurance cycling that you have to carefully manage the effort so I was very surprised to see Mile's "effort" numbers being so much higher

The wonders of visualisation. Jo's blog, as linked to by Ian yesterday () is lovely stuff to browse through. Some 'geeks' just don't know when to stop eh? (As in 'Hip Hop, don't stop' etc...)

Day 125: Another 220+ mile day for Kurt, this time back home in Little Rock. This edges him a little further ahead of Miles's 160 miles. Steve does 96 miles of revolutions around the MK Bowl as he continues to build back the strength in his broken ankle.

Day 126: Another long day for Kurt around Little Rock, this time for 234 miles. Miles rides from Warrnambool to Melbourne for 184 miles continuing his recent trend in daily distance. Steve rides the bowl for 110 miles keeping his challenge alive.

Steve has just posted a ride on strava; about 30 miles. On his Raleigh! Back on two wheels!

I guess today was a test, I'd think he will continue with the trike for a while, but add in some time on the upright.

[QUOTE 3683799, member: 9609"]from the tracker - Steve's on the roads heading east, 24 mile averaging 14½mph - so I guess he is back on the bike. Lets hope his ankle holds up.[/QUOTE]
Maybe he will start on the bike when his leg is fresh in the morning and then change back later on to the trike to rest it as well (if cycling loads of miles can be classed as resting it!)

Day 127: Steve fits in a hospital visit between two trips round the bowl for 84 miles of riding. Kurt piles on 226 miles in Little Rock. Miles heads east to Stratford for a 160 mile day.

Day 128: Stave makes his first trike trip away from home since the crash, heading east for 115 miles in preparation for Saturday's 400km audax. Kurt has one of his longer days clocking up an impressive 242 miles on the roads of Little Rock. Miles makes another trip east to Stratford before heading out along the bay.

I think I need to check my monitor settings, I'm not sure my green is working properly as I can't see Williams line on the last few graphs that Ian has posted.

That's because his mileage is so minuscule that it doesn't even register on the graph.
The bottom figure shows 7000 miles behind the WR pace. Williams is below that.

400km audax today, with a broken foot!

Hope it all goes well for him ( and anyone else doing it)

Blimey! Good luck to Steve and anyone else doing the Audax.

Per the tracker he is at 115 miles so far.
