Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: It's windy and raining, time to hit the turbo.

NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

It's windy and raining, time to hit the turbo.

OK, some may say HTFU but it makes no sense to me to go out on the road in the wind and the rain unless you really have to. So today I made the sensible choice and jumped on the turbo. To be honest, my legs were feeling a bit tired but once I got them spinning and warmed up they were fine. The Level 3 session is a key session so it was 3 x 20 mins at 290 watts with 2 mins recovery in between. Interestingly, ave HR was only 147 over the hour so not really Level 3 at all; maybe it's time for another painful Functional Threshold Power test?

Don't know about you guys but I enjoy reading what you are doing and how we manage to squeeze training into our busy lives.

Well done to all the Ironman lanzarote guys, sounds like a very tough race.
