I have been daring it to storm on me all week, and the weather finally took me up on the challenge. I had to leave my bike at work yesterday because of the severe lightning.

Week ending 21/7-07

69.6 Miles
4:42:45 hours

This week saw the fastest average time I have ever ridden. 3.87 miles in 14 minutes (the short commute home) for a 16.6 average. WOOOOO HOOOOOO

This week was about increasing my intensity while keeping the duration the same (or similar) as normal.

284 miles.
13.5 hours saddle time.

I'm tired. Time for lunch.

Next week will be about completely shattering my legs so I can rebuild them for the next set of races at the end of August.

If it makes you feel better, I'd only be able to somewhere between 11 and 12 miles in that time.

I will probably beat that today.

Thanks. I am just pissed because I don't have time to ride lately. That was 1 ride, and on my usual lake route by my house. I want to ride more!!!!

OK Tom, add me. The miles are LOW right now as my knee still hurts some after a ride - less every time - but I'm following the 10% rule (rather than the 50% rule I think I was following before!) and working up slowly.

This week: 11 miles, about 1:25 saddle time (estimated time - I didn't write it down, but I will next time)

Welcome aboard and no worries, we don't have a minimum miles standard....the goal is to start somewhere and improve on yourself, not compete with everyone else. You compete with your prior self instead.
