Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
My turbo training schedule had me doing an FTP test on Monday courtesy of TrainerRoad. These tests are always hard, so I guess it was my punishment for such a pig out at the pudding party on Sunday. This was the third time I’d done such a test so I’m getting used to them now but...
After such a pig out yesterday I thought it was time to get back into it step up the training and burn off some of the calories! Last week was a recovery week so a fairly easy week for me with 2 rest days! Here’s my training diary: This meant that I was fairly well...
My parents are here visiting for the weekend so yesterday after our ride at Nant yr Arian I jumped on the Turbo Trainer for an hour of 14 Ramps ranging from 120% to 150% of FTP whilst they went for a walk in the dunes. Here’s what I did: In the meantime Morgan ‘Ninny’ and Grandad...
Turbo Trainer throughout the winter can become a little dull (although I quite enjoy it!). So, to spice things up I’ve been following one of the TrainerRoad training plans. The plans themselves are OK, although by necessity they are a little generic. That’s fine at this time of year for me though as I’m only really doing...
I’ve written here several times about the importance of staying motivated as far as training or keeping fit goes. I’ve also posted plenty of tips to help with that such as: Buying new gadgets. Training with others. Making a habit of it. and many more. I tend to do these myself, maybe not consciously, but...
I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I ate far too much over Christmas and did very little exercise so it’s now time to get back to it. The ‘rest’ doesn’t seem to have done too much damage as I felt OK on our Mountain Bike Ride at the weekend although I have put...
Everyone who does any physical training should know the importance of rest. Many of us however get too tied up in the actual training and forget about the rest component. The who idea behind super-compensation training is that you stress your body during hard training bouts, damage muscle tissue and such like and then during...
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...
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...
