Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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’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...
I didn’t think I’d be able to do that! Yesterday, despite still having a bit of a cold, I did my 3:2 minute intervals workout on the turbo trainer. Last time I did this workout on Feb 1st I did the hard efforts at 280 Watts and wrote: My legs were feeling it come the...
I’ve had a bit of a cold lately, it’s nothing too bad just a sore throat, headache and bunged up a bit, but considering what happened last time I exercised whilst ill I’ve been taking it easy. Last time I ended up getting pericarditis and spending several days on the cardiac ward at Bronglais Hospital....
I’m enjoying this and seem to be getting better. I did the same workout as last week, 3:2 minute intervals on the turbo trainer. Last week I did them at 270 Watts with the final one at 280 Watts and my heart rate hit 164bpm on the last one. This week I increased the wattage...
It looks as though my hard work on the turbo trainer may be paying off as I seem to be making some improvements. I did my 1 minute interval session yesterday, where after a warm up I try to do 7 repetitions of 1 minute hard and 1 minute easy. After a little bit of...
It’s always good to mix things up a little on the Turbo Trainer. Also, I had coffee with Jon the other day, my friend who did the various tests on me at the Sports & Exercise Department at Aberystwyth University. Whilst chatting about training he said that the session to do out of the ones...
