Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: Rome Wasn't Built In A Day

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

Rome Wasn't Built In A Day

It's started.

Some exercise.

Some sensible eating - definitely in credit on the calories in/calories out equation today.

Training should be sensible base stuff with a few intervals thrown in for good measure and to keep it interesting. I share an office with the Chairman of RAF Cycling so I'm looking forward to regular evening rides during the week. He's only done a couple of TTs, but knocked out a 21-something 10 last year!!! I may have to re-evaluate my "base plan" after the first couple of rides. There's also a lunchtime running group that do between 5 and 8 miles at lunchtime - might have to extend lunch if I go 8 miles! And I would certainly need an afternoon kip! The motivation is there and the mojo is rising.

Train smart folks.
