Up she goes! Consistent Training and CTL Scores

Alan Cole — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:18:06 +0000

You know me, I spend just as much time recording my training data as I do actually training. By the time I upload it to Garmin Connect, Strava and Triblogs and import it into Rubitrack, I’ve barely got time to actually analyse it! I also have to add it to my excel training diary that...

Flight+ Review – Flight Tracking app for iPad

Alan Cole — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:28:14 +0000

Not being a seasoned traveller I’ve never had the need for any flight tracking apps on my iPad but with an impending trip to New Zealand on the horizon I thought I’d check some out and ended up using Flight+, a really clever app designed to track and manage flights all around the world. It’s really...

Geocaching with GeoBucket

After our visit to the Silver Mountain Experience on Thursday, we pulled out the iPad and decided to test a new (to me) gecoaching app that we have. It’s called Geo Bucket and I downloaded it because I was looking for a new app that we could use offline for gecoaching, specifically whilst in New...

Whilst eating a large steak and chips and a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream the other day I got into a conversation with some friends about the amount I eat. Basically they were all pretty amazed by how much I could consume. Now, I’m not fat, I’m around 5’7″ and 70kg which puts me...

Garmin Speed / Cadence Sensor Review

Alan Cole — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 06:39:09 +0000

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....

Lunchtime Cycle – No holding back

Alan Cole — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:19:08 +0000

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...

Mac Training Software Review

Alan Cole — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:44:52 +0000

I’ve recently decided to try to get a little fitter again, so as well as buying some gadgets I wanted some software to track my progress (or lack of progress as it may turn out to be). I’ve been looking at various applications for the Mac and evaluating them so thought I’d share my thoughts...
