After devoting quite a lot of my time to getting 'cycling-fit' for our abortive End to End cycle ride I've had to attempt a quick change of mode. I've downloaded the last six weeks of a marathon training programme and tried to stick with it. Obviously this means joining at the peak of distance training so I am finding somewhat mentally and physically arduous.
My week 1 was week 13 of the full programme and involved 2x five miles 2x ten miles and a twenty miler. I managed to complete them all but was woefully slow.
My week 2 featured a five miler, 2x six miles and a twelve. I felt fatigued but the speed was certainly coming back.
Week 3 is another fifty mile week and has so far featured 2 fives and a ten. The ten was an unofficial PB of 1hr 15min. I can't say I'm relishing doing thirty miles at the weekend though.
