Bike

Went out with SBR on a very cold morning, and with only shorts on too as my tights got left at the office. My legs were red when I got back, and took quite some time to recover.

Overall I did 60K in 2 hours (this includes the 8K roundtrip to Windsor)

This is a high average - more than 30Kph for the actual ride, and there was some wind too. One person actually dropped out; I think it's getting a bit too competitive and not as much fun as it should be. I got dropped coming back into Windsor past the Great Park as everyone sprinted to the end.

Gym

Early Saturday morning visit to the gym - first time in a long time. Pool not available which was annoying.

After a short warmup on the rowing machine, really thrashed the cross trainer for 10 minutes. The cycling has really improved my performance on this.

Cycled 4.5 miles in 15 minutes, only average.

Ran 2.8 miles in 20 minutes. Really wanted to do 3 miles, but started running too slowly at 6.5mph, and even increasing to 9.0 for the last 5 minutes didn't do it.

Swim

15-20 minutes in LA Fitness this afternoon, mixture of strokes.

Bike

It's really quite annoying having to work for a living.

Missed my cycle last week, and so this weekend after about an hour and a half in the saddle I'm feeling really quite stiff. Opportunities midweek are small, so maybe I will have to look into a turbo trainer.

Did Cycle 3 today in 1.33.23

I was windy, and cold; I'm sure I've said it before but how does the wind manage to be in my face quite so much. I only had cycling shorts and my legs decided it would be a good idea to send all the blood to the surface. Had my new gloves which Carol finally gave me for my birthday though. Interestingly my left foot got really frozen, but my right was OK - odd.

Run

Went over to Kingston, and did a run with Carol and Jonathan in Richmond Park after dark.

It's about a 5 mile route, and we did it in about 42 minutes, taking it fairly easy.

Here's a photo of us after the run.

Run

Felt pretty fit on the Honda 3 mile run tonight, and it wasn't windy or too cold.

11 minutes out exactly
10.40 back.

Total 21.40

I could have gone faster too.

Run

Saturday night Honda 3 mile run. Not bothering with heart rate monitoring. It was really windy with the wind on my back on the way out, so 11 miinutes, and running against the wind on the way back, so a commendable 11.20 minutes.

22.20 mins total

Swim

Went at 6pm after work for a swim/sauna at LA Fitness. About 15 minutes swimming again. The pool is crowded with only 5 people.

Swm

Simply a lunchtime swim in the LA Fitness 15M pool. about 15 minutes swimming.

Brick

Went on my first proper brick session this morning. Vivienne was away so couldn't leave the kids alone for 3 hours for the SBR cycle.

Bike was 23.34k in 47.56 minutes, averaging 29.23kph.

Took my Polar and average HR was 154 (and it says that's 658 calories)

After getting changed and a quick drink, went on the 3 miles Honda road.

22.03 was the time, average hr 163, calories 322.

This is quite interesting, as on Wednesday night I ran a bit slower; perhaps mornings are better than evenings.

It was odd running after the cycle, it felt very slow over the ground. I'm really quite pleased with my performance though.

Run

Did the Honda on another dark evening after work, Not too cold though.

Time - 22.12
