21/01/13 - Rest Day 22/01/13 - Turbo Intervals Starting to appreciate the bike again, the turbo trainer seems to giving my legs some more depth and I've definitely noticed some muscle change. I'm really enjoying it too so its definitely helping! Simple interval session, which I will be completing over February so I thought I'd give it a try tonight and see what my progress is made by the end of the month. 15 minutes warm up 15 minutes (1min @ 100 Cadence, 1 min @ 80 Recovery Cadence) 15 minutes warm down I may look to make the interval session to 30 minutes the better my bike fitness gets. Great to see the peaks, I am only on level 1 on the resistance on the turbo trainer but its a start in the right direction. I managed to get the 100 RPM cadence on most intervals and keep it there (or around 97 - 105) On another plus side I was dripping in sweat so I know I must of worked hard...

14/01/13 - Rest Day 15/01/13 - Rest Day 16/01/13 - Turbo Session After a week off from being ill, I was keen to get back to it. Still not feeling 100% but I needed to get back on the horse, and the horse on this occasion was the turbo trainer. I needed to do something, so 30 minutes was a easy target to hit, just sit on the bike and peddle and try and keep it consistent for the whole session. My aim was to keep the bike to a cadence of 80 RPM and I wasn't to far off. Session Details Duration 00:30:01 Distance 6.92 Miles Calories 381 Average Cadence 80 RPM Max Cadence 91 RPM 17/01/13 - Free Run I've changed my diet from the Christmas indulgent so I am a bit sluggish as its been a dramatic calorie decrease. This has effected my energy levels and I proper "BONGKED" on this run. I flew out the blocks and it felt great, it was cold so I needed to get a wriggle on so I would stay warm, but by the tim...

20/02/12 - Rest Day 21/02/12 - Free Run This session was all about getting the duration in my legs, its been a while since I've done an hours run so I was keen to see how the legs would cope and as my half Ironman training its a good foundation. I know it can be quite boring running on the treadmill for one hour staring at the TV, but I don't mind it if I'm honest, I find a rhythm and I'm away. The whole session was 8 minute mile pace, which I'm pretty happy about I felt great and the next steps are for 90 minutes on the treadmill. I know I should go running out on the road but I'm doing the training in the day in the gym at the moment. Session Details Duration 01 00 00 Distance 7.5 Miles Max HR 192 BPM Average HR 159 BPM 22/02/12 - Core Workout I had time for a quick core workout before I put my son to bed, my core stability is definitely improving and I hopefully noticing the difference when I'm running.
