Been feeling down of late...

Why not run Steve,..sure - you must have a pair of trainers knocking around somewhere..15mins, round the block etc...

I reasoned once Steve THAT 15mins or thereabouts equals 20mls and half hour - a 30ml ride.

Even a 10min run would suffice...

Cyclings a very power orientated exercise and obviously running isnt, soo, running is VERY acute and technical over a short period of time (remember the human is not made to RUN! over a long distance) so therefore benefits are great over a short time period of running !



Well thats what I reckon anyway !

Not been out on my bikes as much as I'd like to have been.
Mainly due to being so tired after work (WORK STRESS)...and a mix of bad weather.
Been so skint after crimbo too....so never got a turbo trainer.
Hopefully I'll be ordering/buying one on Monday......then at least I can get my legs spinning.
I'll have to use my MTB on the trainer with my slicks until I can afford my new wheelset in March, along with a few turbo trainers accessories....front wheel stand, training tyre etc etc.

Being skint sucks.

Hoping I can get out as much as poss this coming weekend as I have tomorrow and Monday off.

I have lost some momentum on the bike...but my enthusiasm remains intact luckily.
I have however lost even more weight. In April last year I was a 36 waist and 13.5 stone 5'9". Now I'm a snippet under 12 stone. Boy do I feel leaner and fitter. Something to smile about I suppose.....weight loss even when not cycling.

It's a good idea......running as good and Ilike to run....although I don't.
I do have some nice Reebok running shoes...proper ones.....so no probs with equipment there.
I like swimming too....though sharing the public pool with everyone and dirty amenities puts me off TBH.
I might start combining running, cycling, turbo training and some weight lifting to strengthen my legs....all spread out of course...I don't want to burn out...

Where's the cockroach gone?

You mean the wood beetle?
Fancied a chance......was poncing about with my new camera earlier. Took a pic of the Trek badge on my MTB too....the Macro shots come out amazingly detailed...if a purply blurred....

Did 31.1 miles again today. The wind was chilling and gusts were strong. Almost stopped and ran out of energy but my mate gave me a Gel sachet so I felt better after a bit. Could have ridden more but going out again tomorrow so decided to save myself a bit.

Good to hear you're getting out and enjoying it . Keep enjoying it.

I took a banana but they are a slower releasign energy food so I'll eat one before i set out today.....and I'll carry a choccy bar with me instead.

Supposed to be going further today...possibly 50+ miles......will have to see how my energy levels are and my legs of course.
