  A nice easy "low impact" ride to help my legs recover. They are still a bit sore from the last few days, but getting better. Its actually quite nice not to feel the pressure to do the scheduled run. I think it was 13 miles tonight, and I'm enjoying t...

  I have a Recovery Week next week, so when one of my neighbours suggested a ride I thought it would be a nice change from all the running. My legs felt pretty bad from yesterday to be honest. Where I'm usually pretty strong on the hills, Gary had me o...

  So much for a rest day, spurred on by watching a couple of hours of the Tour de France, I decided that I was going to get myself out on my bike. And I covered part of the TdF route as it came through Kent although nowhere near the same sort of speed...

  Its still very windy out, and that was certainly the case on the way out this afternoon. But I felt good and it mostly felt easy enough. Of course on the return leg I got the advantage of the wind behind me and that helped drive up my average speed....

  Another bike ride this evening. Big difference tonight as it was very windy and I also followed a "hillier" route. What this all meant was that my average HR for the ride was up at 145bpm, compared to a similar workout last night where my average was...

  Tonight is the first activity for me in 9 days, assuming you don't count the 400m I did on the track last Monday night of course, and I don't. I'm pleased to report that my bike ride went without incident. I had no pain from my injury whilst riding,...
