Improving Bike Fitness

As some of you might know, I’ve been out of training with a knee problem. But finally the Physio has given me the green light to test out my knee and after a short run and a cycle, I’ve come through unscathed (well, a few little niggles but I’m sure I’m just being hypersensitive) I gather as long as I take it easy and build up some strength slowly I should be fine.

Circuit Training

Next week is the start of my Circuit Training class. I have my checklist: the venue is booked, I’m insured up to the eyeballs (so please don’t trip and hurt yourself on purpose!) and I have a licence to play music - SO all I need now are some pupils!!

Ironman: The Beginning

Ironman….wait for it…140.3 miles - a 2.4 mile swim, followed by 112 miles on your bike and let’s not forget the small matter of running a marathon too, so that’s another 26 odd miles!!!


Now if you’re an elite athlete you can look at a sub 10 hour time… If you’re in great shape, you’re looking for a sub 12 hour time… and for everyone else, the aim is sub 17 hours (This is when they take down the finishing line, the flags and bunting - close up and go home.) No medal, no glory!
