Monday Picking this week off where we left the last, with a nice 60 minute easy spin in a great meetup with my training buddies. Going back to my favorite roads in Makuri Island with some cadence-based drills workout. A great turnout for the meetup, so many time-zone differences, but...
Time to Open Up and Get Personal I’m just going to get right to it. I used to have a problem with alcohol, and this eventually lead to obesity, health issues, and depression. I knew I needed to do something if I wanted to have a happier life with my...
Monday After a disappointing end to last week, today was a better day, still feeling a little unwell, perhaps the stress of starting the new role, my training, and life in general. We need to remember some times we are only human, and it’s ok to admit when we need...
Week 3 in my journey with CoachPav, and I’m feeling pretty good. My body is feeling well prepared for these sessions. I have been working hard on my nutrition, and being in more control of my hydration, with professional advice from the team at Precision Hydration. After not being able...
Week 2 has arrived, and today I started my new job, physically I was fine, but it mentally drained me!! I forgot how hard it was to learn a completely new task. It’s all very exciting, it will certainly aid my training with fewer hours, and more flexibility to get...
I just couldn’t get over it! That first time I ever watched someone on YouTube hop on their bike on a set of rollers and spin like a pro. I was pretty much, well, petrified by the thought. I just knew if I ever tried riding rollers, I was going...
As we kick off week 1, we start with some easy spinning on the legs, Low Watts/High Cadence. These types of sessions can be mentally challenging, my suggestion is to create a Zwift Meetup with friends and use this time not only to recover the body, but it’s also good...
Where does one start talking about the past couple of years in this day in age! It has been challenging for many of us. The heartache of lost loved ones, friends, or family, the closing down of many businesses. We can all agree we never expected to see anything like...
If you’re a data junkie like me, you probably know all your Strava stats, Garmin gab, and any other metric you can imagine, including your average speed. And we probably all have that one friend or twenty who will do crazy stuff to keep that average speed up, even if...
I don’t mind FTP tests, in theory. In theory. They are certainly challenging, but I like seeing what I’m capable of, although I’m always anxious that my results will get lower and not higher. (Yeah that’s happened and its actually not the end of the world.) The part I don’t...
