Went for 75 kms cycling today, it was a bit of a stretch as I did the last 15 kms in complete darkness, luckily this time I took lights with me.
Wanted to check the stats on Endomondo just to discover at the end that the bloody BB battery was depleted and didn't record the last 14 kms.
Still I was pretty happy with today's performance, managed to have an over 25 km/h average over the 75 kms, which is fine for a training ride in my case.
You can edit the distance on Endomondo if you need to.
I'm finding at the moment my maximum comfortable distance is about 20 miles. Any more and I'm quite tired.
Nah, it won't make a difference in the end. Next time I'll make sure I charge the phone to full battery before going for a longer ride as the GPS seems to be rather gourmand.Quote:

Do you take any sports drinks with you when you ride? Personally I drink quite a lot when riding, today I drank 1.5 liters during the ride, and sweat it all.
Not sports drinks as such. Just water with a bit of juice cordial to take away the plastic taste. And I drank it all yesterday as it was hot. But I've also just bought a second bidon and cage so now I'll have plenty.
Nice thread. At the end of last year I felt I am completely out of shape and even not able to run on time to the rally stage :( So, I decided to start training again. I did two skiing marathon in winter and today I completed my first ever full running marathon (Tallinn Marathon) in 4:20:54. Now I think I will not get tired while running into the stage to get in time (next couple of days I am not going to run for sure!):-)
It would be interetsing to know if many people in this forum have done any marathons? And what was the final time?
At the moment I'm pleased that I can go out for an hours ride and come back feeling better than when I went out :)
I did consider that doing a marathon might be a good idea, but discovered that it was a lot easier to sit back with a bag of crisps instead :cool:
I would probably be just like that guy who got disqualified for getting a bus along most of the route :)
Last year I did half marathon.. but full distance.. you know... bus was very tempting indeed ;-) But now. The feling is great.. but walking is not so great right now:-)Quote:
