Turbo Man's Fitness Blog: It Can Be Tough

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 Can Be Tough

Getting back into your training regime after any sort of break can be tough both physically and mentally. I'm a couple of days into Week 2 and I'm already noticing that I need more sleep. It's OK getting up early in the morning for that easy/moderate turbo session, or going to the gym at lunch time, but I am struggling to get out in the evenings, especially in the sub zero temperatures at the moment. I'm doing about 90 minutes per day at the moment that I'm very happy with. About 60 minutes of this is cycling but I've also added in some X-trainer and rowing for variety.

Sleep well folks.
