21/08 Turbo Session

Completed a turbo session last night.

Standard pyramid after 10 mins warm up

3 x 1 min light efforts with a 1 min rest

3min efforts with 1:30 rests 5 stages up 4 down followed by warm down

session OK now getting used to making efforts on the trainer again

some residual fluid on the lungs from my cold but not too bad

Velodrome Taster Session

Well I survived, and it wasn't that bad really.

Took Rick, who now walks like John Wayne after 60 mins on a velodrome hire bike.

My right Knee played up a bit which probably means that I need to work on my bike position. The plan is to change my pedals in any case so I will work on it then.

John Leach velodrome coach condemned me as a "failed road rider", little does he know I am a failed track and mtb rider as well.

Now I need to sort out some training objectives and my diet. Weight loss is going to be key to any future racing speed.


Back to the turbo............

First Post

This blog is going to record my desperate efforts to attain sporting mediocrity.

The training regime starts with a return to the velodrome on the track bike rather than the derny tonight.

Hopefully it wont be too embarrassing......

I will report back soon
