Indeed, there is that to think about. I don't fancy repeated emergency room visits. First thing he asked was how far. Fortunately he perked up a bit when I told him it was only going to be about 15 or 16km. :D
I did 115km in the bike yesterday and attempted the Strava 10km challenge this morning. I was pleasantly surprised after yesterday's ride and it being only the third time I've run all year to complete it in around 74 minutes. I didn't run the whole way and most likely ran more than I have all year so it was a nice surprise as my fastest ever 10km time is 65 minutes and that was done when I was regularly running and never after a bike ride.
I have run so far 143 km this month. I hope I'll get to 175 by the end of the week. I also did a 18 km run last Thursday, my personal best in terms of distance. I'm getting close to a semi-marathon. Now such are the circumstances that I feel sort of burnt out and really down beat... so my modest goal for the week will probably end up being quite a challenge.
I know how that is, stuff going on which means you can't get out, so you end up feeling bad about it, so are less likely to go out, and on it goes!
something like that... I also have trouble sleeping... to make things even more interesting.
That's awesome. Hope you can keep it up. I'm only averaging about 25 - 30kms a week right now, but I'm also doing some cycling in between. Also, I've recently started some trail running which has its own challenges.Quote:

Apparently, I was supposed to stop and give way to traffic behind me because my cycle lane had ended. :confused: My GPS data showed me at 33.5kp/h before coming to a sudden stop. Despite a shoulder injury and some bruises I managed to get back on the bike and go cycling with Sir Chris Hoy and go on a couple of other short rides. :) I think watching sport in the next few weeks will be more of a hindrance to actually getting out and getting fit myself.
Hope you're not too badly injured GridGirl!
Im still struggling with any sort of uphills on my bike, wish I had more determination to keep going rather than bailing and pushing up :s Did another mountain bike orienteering event on Sunday and went 39km which is the furthest I've ever ridden in one go so a bit happier with that. Still dead last though!
Will be starting to cycle to work next week (13 miles each way :s ) so hoping that will really improve my fitness, as long as it stays dry...
Don't push up the hill then ;) . Just have a rest if you need to. Mountain Bikes aren't the best for climbing hills - unless they're off road of course. Despite what Ibby says, the best bike for climbing is a road bike ;)Quote:

130 miles a week will certainly sort you out! Which way are you going, what sort of surfaces?
