Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve Just finished a fairly enjoyable interval session on my turbo trainer – Well, as enjoyable as such torture can be. I’m still doing the same interval sessions as I’ve been doing fairly regularly, this time it was the 3:2 minute interval workout. As I’ve said before these are supposed to be really hard and...
I bought myself a new gadget the other day, a Garmin Speed / Cadence Sensor for my Forerunner 305. I didn’t really NEED one but new toys are always a good motivator. When out on my bike in the real world the GPS on the Forerunner obviously tracks my speed and distance and works flawlessly....
I managed to beat my Personal Best around the ClimachX Trail last night. It was supposed to be an Ystwyth-MTB night ride at 6.30pm. As usual I was there early, but by 6:45pm nobody else had arrived so I let Anna know I was going to go around on my own and headed off for...
I’ve just completed an interval session on my Turbo Trainer. The session today was a 3:2 min interval session, so after a 10 minute warm up I did 7 repetitions of: 3 minutes @ 340 Watts 2 minutes @ 120 Watts followed of course by a 10 minute cool down. It was fairly hard, but...
My recent lab tests with Jon at the Sports and Exercise Science Department are finally over. The tests themselves were hard, but nothing compared to the disgusting potions I had to drink beforehand – For that reason alone I’m glad that they are over! I met Jon yesterday for a quick synopsis of what he...
Before heading off on todays lunchtime ride I had told myself that the plan was for a nice easy ‘recovery’ ride. I had done a hard 25 mile ride yesterday, I have circuits and Swimfit to go to this evening and a long MTB ride planned for tomorrow, so and easy ride was on the...
Working from home means that I can’t commute to work on my bike. Well, I could but it wouldn’t do me or the hall carpet much good, so instead I went for a lunch time cycle today. Just a fast, flat blast out to Machynlleth and back and I was pleased to keep my average...
Yesterday was a good day, packed full of activities. I started off fairly early, sorting, counting and recording the contents of the moth trap. Nothing unusual in there and no new species, but 21 different species and 60 moths in total. As my ID skills improve I’m getting quicker at going through the contents of...
Swimfit was good on Tuesday this week. As usual I was fairly tired by the time I got there having done a lab test for Jon at Sports and Exercise Science and then an hour of circuit training, but I soon got into the swimming. After a warm up and some drills Lauren had us...
I haven’t done any long bike rides for years. In fact we’re talking 20 years plus since I did anything over about 35 miles. Monday was a gorgeous day, warm, dry and sunny. I was on top of work (or didn’t have much on to be more precise) so set off on a nice little...
