Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’m quite pleased with my turbo trainer set up, the software I use with it, the ‘workflow’ I have to record everything and the gadgets that I use to make this happen. I’ve mentioned many of them here in passing, but thought I’d write a post about the whole kit and caboodle. What I use, how it...
I’ve been trying to fit some training in during the Christmas period, despite not having a structured plan to follow. I have also been trying to spend plenty of quality family time with Anna and Morgan so have spent lots of time out walking in the hills, geocaching in the woods and strolling on the beach....

Yes, another turbo trainer post as I’m enjoying my work-outs on it at the moment. I thought I would try another 1 minute interval session today. So I did exactly the same session as I did on Saturday, but this time increased the wattage on the hard efforts from 320 Watts to 340 Watts. Surprisingly...
I’m quite enjoying my little turbo trainer sessions at the moment. I know that’s not right, they are supposed to be boring, horrible and painful, but I’ve been doing them at lunch time and feel so much better for it afterwards. The secret is to mix it up, doing different sessions all the time so...
