This month’s training has been going well. It’s been a little interrupted with birthday
celebrations and things, but overall been going well.
More after the jump...
I am going to spinning classes regularly and starting
to find them good fun. I’m pleased to
say my fears of it being like this scene from Peep Show were unfounded
(warning, the clip contains a little swearing!).
Then again, the trainer did ask if I was finding it easier, to which I
said “yes” without explaining I meant that I was no longer in pain after the
session, and his reply was simply “turn the resistance up then!” There’s no pleasing some people!
I’ve also started going to yoga classes too, to help out
with stretching and flexibility issues, and this is also doing well though I’m
not able to do the Lotus Position quite yet, but I think I’ll continue to go
even after this charity bike ride.
Speaking of which, there is now less than six weeks to go
and the time is just flying by! I have
been out on the bike a few times this month, making the most of the good
weather and getting in some good saddle time.
Some of us managed to cycle out to Petersfield way and attempt some ‘above
average’ hills too which was damned hard work, though I didn’t make it quite to
the top of them I gave it as much as I could.
I was also able to take my bike to the New Forest a few weeks ago, and
enjoy the long straight roads and get some good speed up.
In the next few weeks we’ll be looking to get a two-day test
ride in and see what effects it will have on us to be in the saddle for long
periods of time, which will be nice.
This will probably be the last training diary entry for the blog, but I
expect to update the blog a few days before we start.
We are really looking forward to this ride now, and your support
and encouragement is making things much easier for us, so thank you.
