BTW if it's not getting better within a week go see a chiropractor, they can solve the issue within 30 minutes.

I've got to be careful myself, I sprained my shoulder at work the other day, and my biking exercises are on hold :mad:
:laugh: Agree! :DQuote:

Last week end I took part in a 100 km bike race/marathon (it was the 2nd time I did it after last year's one), for which I prepared for about 8 weeks.
As I am not really fond of buying all kind of gadgets I only got myself one of those watches that measure the pulse, and as always I never used it until the race itself.
At the end of the race everyone was talking about various values like speed, distance and ofcourse pulse. And at this point I got a bit lost as I had a pulse of around 180 for 90% of the race while other people I was there with were all reporting peaks of 170.
So it looks that I need to get myself in better shape again.
Good advice ioan. I also recommend killing two birds with one stone. If you can get an Osteopath D.O. you have a doctor that can treat you with medicine, and do adjustments. They are generally more helpful than only a chiropractor. However not all DO's are created equal. Probably the most thorough primary care doctor I ever had was a DO when I did a 4 year stint in Las Vegas. But some of them are needle happy and want to fix soft tissue damage with cortisone. I had one in S.D. that shot me up after a long period of time when I tore some ankle ligament. It was miraculous as I had very little motion in thatQuote:

I must be doing something wrong, they would work for about 30 seconds and stop picking up my pulse, then I'd move them around a bit, then they would work for another 30 seconds or so and then stop working again. Very annoying when youre trying to keep your speed up on a bike ride!
It was a great week fit wise that last one. I managed to do some running, some time on the bikes at the gym, little weight lifting, 2 hours of tae bo, 4 hours of football... all in all a pretty good week.
I don't tend to take my pulse during exercise as it is always extremely high. I've had it all checked out and my fast heartbeat during exercise appears to be normal for me. It does freak others out when they see my heartbeat it 210bpm. :s
I've been trying hard when cycling lately and have been continually beating my personal best distances and times. I did my first ever ride over 100 miles a couple of weeks ago and manged to do 114km in five hours dead cycling time on Saturday.
Nothing special, one of the cheapest ones from Decathlon, called Geonaute something, paid about 15 Euros for it.Quote:

I think I will use it more though in an attempt to improve my base fitness levels.
That sounds promising, keep it up.Quote:

I gave up on any goals on the road side as my work commute is so short, only 11km on one direction.Quote:

Saturday or Sunday is either rest or mountain biking.
All this is subject to weather or motivation changes. :D
Many people usually feel that home security camera systems are excellent just for keeping track of what happens inside and out of a residence. However, it's not the only real way in which home security cameras are great for. There are plenty of other things that you can use Security Cameras for! Although their main purpose would be to watch your residence, they may be used for other things too. These cameras definitely are a worthwhile investment decision almost any homeowner tend to make.

I will be placing my order very soon for sure.Quote:

Cycling is pretty much the only thing where I can put a lot of effort in and it doesn't feel like torture!
I find cycling ok but as with everything find I can go slower which makes it a lot less effort :D When I move down here to the north east permanently I will buy a new mountain bike and spend more time cycling around forests, don't really enjoy going on the roads.
I am still aiming to get Mark to have a weekly badminton match on an evening, but so far he has wimped out :p :
Badminton? Nah. And road cycling is best anyway :mark:Quote:

If you're into incredibly boring training, get a indoor trainer for a bicycle like I did last winter. 30 minute's spinning feels like two hours. :DQuote:

Sounds good apart from the manure :s
I try and avoid road cycling aswel. Where will you move to in the North East? If you like forest cycling,(if you havent been already) why not try Hamsterly forest? I may even meet you there :)Quote:

Have looked at Hamsterley already but never actually been there before.
Just rode to Sunderland and back. Almost entirely off road :) .
My bike is a hybrid so can do the likes of well maintained ex railways but not really the rallying roads which I'm sure Jamie prefers!
Great weekend: Friday football, Saturday tennis and Gym, Sunday tennis and 8 kms of jogging. If only all of them would be the same.
Impressive....If you continue like this your body will look like Alex Velea's.Quote:

Yeah started in Chester-le-Street and went to Seaburn on the C2C, play on the beach with the bairn and then came back via the old C2C alongside the Metro and then down to Penshaw on the old lines. About 30 mile round trip for me too so you must be nearby :)Quote:

Plus wherever I drive I have the bike with me ready to go.
My brother has Thule roof rack with two bike racks on the car during the summer, he says it adds 1 or 2 liter/100km of fuel consumption, depending on how many bikes he has up there.Quote:

Our roof rack is Thule and fits on our Octavia Vrs. Its a four bike rack and we mostly only use it when we take both the mountain bikes and road bikes away with us, hense the poor fuel economy. If it is only two bikes that we need they usually fit in the back quite nicely with plenty of room for luggae and other assorted bike crap (technical term I know).
I am doing a 100km bike ride on Sunday with Bradley Wiggins. Its one of his training routes. I think it might hurt the legs a little so we didnt sign up for the 160km ride. Ad they say; no pain, no gain. :s
Did actually test the roof rack today, my brother's bike has technical problems so I had to go with his kid in their weekly bike club ride.
The basic Thule Pro-ride, doesn't fit my bike that well, fatter tyres float too high. Long wheel base and tall fork means the bike is too forward in the rack.
But the ride was fun.
Will have to have a check at the weekend to see if it'll squeeze in the back, it does have a quick release wheel but it's probably rusted on due to long term laziness. Definitely a must have when I come to getting a new one. The car was certainly a lot slower (more than normal!) with it on the back.
Just need to hope I can get it in with my golf clubs and suitcase etc.
