Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I haven’t been doing much running lately and when I have it’s been pretty slow, but I’ve just got back from a nice lunchtime run. I decided to do a VO2 Max interval session. I did it exactly the same as last time which seemed just about right pace wise: 5 min warm up (no...
I didn’t have much time for ‘training’ today so thought I’d fit in a quick but hard run at lunch time. I’ve been trying to do some VO2 Max intervals along the beach recently but haven’t been able to get the intensities, pace and distances quite right for it to be manageable but hard. The...
After posting on Twitter that I “survived my killer turbo trainer session – just”, a few people asked what I did and there just isn’t enough room to explain it on Twitter, so here it is instead. Basically it was a 3:2 minute interval session with a few 1 minute sprint intervals tagged on the...
I haven’t been on my bike much lately. The frame on my Commencal Meta 5.5 is cracked so I can’t ride that and I’ve yet to buy a new road bike. Also, it’s been pretty windy so I’ve been out windsurfing and haven’t had much time. I have been on the Turbo Trainer a few...
It doesn’t look as though the lack of exercise and far too much food during my few days away recently have done too much damage. I did a turbo trainer session the other day and my performance was OK. I even checked the tyre pressure before the session to make sure things were consistent and...
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’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...
Recently my turbo trainer sessions seem to have been getting easier. I keep increasing the wattage on set workouts and still manage to finish them. I did notice the other day though that the tyre pressure in my rear tyre was a little low so pumped it up a bit and that seems to have...
As usual, Tuesday seems to be my day of fitness training. I’ve just done a turbo trainer session and will be off to circuit training and then swimfit this evening. The Turbo Trainer sessions are going well. Last night I did a 3:2 minute interval session where I did 7 repetitions of 3 minutes @...
Tuesdays seem to be my day of training at the moment, although I’m not sure that 3 session in a day is necessarily good thing. I’ve just done a Turbo Trainer session that felt OK. Either I’m getting better or the calibration is a little out as I keep increasing the wattage for each session...
