Well considering this is week two and I can see that things are on the up. My average speed has increases and the time taken to do the 5.44 has come down slightly from the rides last week. However, I wonder at the moment if this is just my body reacting and toning the muscles in my legs that had already been developed, but recently let slide due to the lack of exercise. If this is the case then I suspect that my first plateau is just around the corner. When that happens I think it will be time to pick a new route so that I’m not just training on the same route, with the same sets of gradients to deal with.
Next week is going to be hard to get all the cycling in due to traveling for meetings and also my graduation, which has finally arrived. I’m still hopeful to get some in, but realise I’m not going to reach my target of one session each weekday. Maybe I’ll try and go for an early morning ride, though not sure that will happen.
