Training round up

Its been a while since I’ve done this and I feel I’ve been letting myself down when it comes to cycling. To be fair though I’m not slacking off. This is my general training plan for the week:

• Monday – Weights followed by 12 – 18k of ergos
• Tuesday – Circuits
• Wednesday – Motus core stability
• Thursday – Run
• Friday – Off
• Saturday – Rowing
• Sunday – Rowing

The bulk of my training is rowing focused at the moment but that’s because I want to do well in the HORR. My ergo splits at the moment are good and I’m one of the strongest in the crew.

This last week my focus has returned to cycling although the didn’t help. I can’t sit on the winter bike so I’ve ordered a new saddle and rigged up the summer one on a turbo trainer. My plan is to get some indoor miles in whilst catching up with season three of Heroes.

This weekend I did manage to get out on the road. I suggested to my rowing mate, Steve, that we cycle in to training on Sunday. In all the return trip covered 22 miles on a gloriously sunny day. Its helped remind me how much I love getting out there.
