Twice in a day
Now I’m off out for a well-deserved drink… I started off today with the 720 EZ run that got me out of bed nice and early. Luckily it was the slower/easier run, as I was still feeling pretty tired from the weekend. We headed off on a new route that was 5.8 miles in length, […]
Indoor rowing
I guess this makes this the road to marathon part 2… I didn’t have much time today so I had to make do with a quick gym session. As my favourite (and the only) spinning bike in the gym was taken I decided to do something different for a change – rowing. I rowed for […]
And the (non) rest
Rest day tomorrow, don’t want to overdo it… I most definitely did not rest. I couldn’t resist going to the gym: it was horrible outside and I had extra energy that needed using up. It was a medium length solo spin, very similar to Tuesday but lacking the sandwich of runs – alas I did […]
New look spinning
I may do more spinning and perhaps swimming with my injured partners this coming week… I went spinning today with three of my colleagues: it’s been a long time since more than two of us were in the same class. We had the usual instructor, but he seemed to mix things up a little more than usual. […]
Charity
Pretty hard work for a holiday… Just a quick lunchtime spinning class today. I seem to have developed a cold from my holiday so today was a lot harder than I was hoping, but needless to day it was a good workout. I finally got around to sorting out a justgiving page to collect sponsors […]
Final day
Possibly ViPR tomorrow, but it’s the harder instructor… Instead of ViPR today it was a mid-afternoon gym session. This involved around 40 minutes solo spinning whilst watching the Tour de France – I was so keeping up with them, honestly. This was followed by a few swift TRX exercises and a 1000 metre sprint on […]
Back to spinning
I think more spinning in the near future… Just a quick one today. We had a stand-in spinning instructor today, so the class was a little different. There was a very good music selection: it really got the class going. The class was mainly climbs with a few sprints thrown in. This instructor particularly likes […]
Dave the spinning instructor
Definitely the sound track tomorrow… Before I start, here is the sound track for my attempt at a spinning class: Stereophonics – More Life In A Tramps Vest Used as a low intensity short warm up. Lady GaGa – Born this Way The warm up proper, building up intensity towards the end. Girls […]
Fast-paced spinning
Will I finally get around to being chased by zombies tomorrow?… Brains…unfortunately not, my right foot still feels a bit iffy from the 2 thirds marathon, so it was another solo spin. This time I managed to fit an hour in before I had to rush off home. I rather foolishly chose the album The […]
On yer bike
Back on to spinning tomorrow… Good old spinning – Friday is the best class of the week. It was much harder than usual today: I’m sure my resistance was turned up too high. That or my legs still haven’t recovered – hurry up! My heart rate monitor decided to stop working halfway through, enthusiastically cycling […]
