Grinding It Out…
I now know what serious is…
In the last two weeks I’ve begun my training for the STP (204 miles in two days) My pre-ride packet came in the mail with all sorts of information……along with a training schedule. I knew I was close to what was recommended, but I wasn’t putting in enough continuous miles. So..now I’m up to speed and the ol’ legs are feeling it too! Each week I’m putting in 100 miles….20 miles on Wednesday, 40 on Saturday and 40 on Sunday. I learned something very important …wear the bike shorts… they really, really help…:)
On the off days I’m doing light cardio on my elliptical and weights 3 times a week. The only thing I’m still struggling with is getting my diet right. Just when I think I’ve got it down… I get torpedo’d by events..:(
