No training today and to be honest I'm starting to panic a bit about how I'll maintain my fitness over the next few weeks. This weekend we're at a wedding (my God daughter Emma) and a 40th birthday party, next weekend we're away in Liverpool. So it'll be a few early morning rides to maintain some miles, but I can't really do more than 90 minutes before work. I guess that's better than nothing.
Anyway it made me review my progress. I started training on 7th January. I've recorded 49 separate rides since then, a total of 2465km in just under 7 months, an average of about 50km per ride. At my average speed of 28kph that's a minimum of 88 hours in the saddle.
The pink line on the graph shows my cumulative distance and the blue my daily distance. I've also had two lots of major eye surgery this year and two weeks in Cuba, so I've done my best in the time available.
I think the pink line shows a nice concave curve, but its not getting as steep as I'd like in these last few weeks. Riding has been augmented by gym work and spin. I've ridden in snow, frost, sleet, winds, rain, sun, hail, floods and glorious English (and Welsh) country side. And loved it.
Just gotta get out and ride. Cycling is my prozac.
