January Training Continues...... or not.

I don't know where January is going!
Having missed a load of sessions over Christmas, I'm now two-thirds of the way through January and I don't seem to have done any more.  Sunday 9th was good - managed to get out around Bruntingthorpe, Lutterworth for a total of 35 miles (Map).  Didn't feel too bad and found a couple of nice hills.
Last week just flew past. Had a trip to Winchester and a load of prep to do for that, so didn't have time to go to the gym, or get out on the bike at all. Another week gone.

A bit better this week. Rugby on Saturday, with a good win over Newbold-on-Avon, also my birthday, so had a couple of beers and a take away for supper. Sunday was spent with the family in Leicester for Sunday lunch (would have been my dad's birthday). Managed to get out on the turbo for an hour when we got back. Tried to do the CTS field test : 2 x 8minutes at 100%. Not a great idea really, feeling the effects of the day out and eating too much, but interesting. Managed to average 288 and 279 watts. Heart rate not as high as I expected at about 155bmp.

Managed a good session on Tuesday. 4 x 6min @ 255 watts, 4min between intervals.
Gym again on Wednesday, and then a quick 45 minutes on the turbo in the evening.

Been to the Gym twice today :o)
Once at lunchtime for the usual session, then back again to receive delivery of our new rowing machine. Played with it for a couple of minutes and pressed all the buttons and experimented with the resistance settings - that does count as training doeasn't it ????

Need to keep pushing myself to go out.
