The 3.9 mile rides are during the week and basically round the block to Asda, but every corner is a hill or nasty incline. I was delighted to get an average speed of 11.08mph with rush hour traffic and head winds. The max speed is recorded as there is typically one downhill stretch and it's how much bottle I have to push myself faster and faster.
On training days I eat complex carbs such as wholemeal pasta, and on rest days I eat protein.
Really quite getting into it now, I hope after the London to Brighton I stay in the groove.
It's progress at least. Anyone got any tips on the training with regards to eating, or the training I have done so far? 10 weeks to the big day.
And yes it's a me me me post, but I just got sick of the banal posts and willy waving so fancied a change of topic.
Flame away guys.
