I was fine when I got up this morning after yesterday and no real stiffness or pain. I fixed up the bike as I planned. I dropped and pushed back the saddle a little and lifted the handlebars a bit. Adjusting the pedals wasn't quite what I expected as they were both close to the lightest release torque...Getting the feet in and out of the pedals is obviously more of a technique thing .
Today I swithered about going out on the bike but I wanted to recover and rest my knee a bit as I have a big run next Sunday. I went to the gym before breakfast to do some toning and a little stretching. It was very busy with people no doubt thinking about getting rid of the pounds they picked up ski-ing.
I did 250 bench inclined situps as they help your core stomach and back muscles which help with climbing on the bike. Its the most I've done in a single session. I did some free weights and some machine weights on my arms, chest and shoulders which should give me some help in the swimming. I finished with 10 minutes leg pressing 40kg to help stretch my legs a bit.
I'm currently switching between Old Firm CIS Final and England-France Six Nations match. In reality I want to go out on the bike...

Bad result in football, big result in rugby. had to celebrate with a gallon of the black stuff and curry, rice and chips. Cmon England!
ReplyDeleteTop performance from England at Twickenham and at the Irish bar in Frankfurt :O) I'm also impressed by your multi cultural intake. When do India get a decent Rugby Team.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for encouraging other nations into the championship in order to move England further away from the basement. I do confess, however, that I eat curry because I love it and chips because I'm a pig.
