thank you, nice trainer!
Fitness was much better than I’d dared to hope, and could manage four peaks instead of three, total 2100 metres and quite a number of miles. I’m feeling it now though, watching the Masters with a glass of wine and a tingle in my leg muscles :)
Roll on next time – planning a night run (with helmet lights) sometime during the week, and then out into the Highlands for some serious runs in the coming weeks!
...on your training, Senninha. I love your enthusiasm about cycling and fitness in general.
It’s nice to imagine it may be useful for others. It tends to be quite self-reinforcing – the more I exercise, the better I feel, so the more I enjoy exercising.
The reverse cycle also works – the more I slob around, the less I feel like exercising, so the more I slob around :)
It’s really annoying to attain a level of fitness, let it go, then have to recapture it again from a low level. To attack a hill that I used to sprint up, but feel only heavy legs, aching muscles and a pounding heart is very depressing.
Use it or lose it, as the saying goes, so I’m trying to “use it”! Last weekend I did two runs – one of about an hour on the trainer, and then on Sunday a shorter sprint of what should have been 37 mins, but I took 1:30 off my best ever time :) Happy guy! But despite the nice whather I didn’t get out on the hills (due to stuff to do around the house), so a friend and I are planning to hit the hills this weekend coming.
