So, ‘Slimmer and Fitter’ – it’s been just over 2 years since I started this blog and I haven’t achieved my aims. I started off making good progress, but then faltered. All the good work has unravelled and I’m basically back where I started from – fat, and relatively unfit. (That is – unfit compared [...]
I’m still feeling very little temptation to cycle outdoors. It was grey earlier and then it started snowing again – aargh! At this rate, my first audax ride of the year in 2.5 weeks time is under threat. (That’s the Mini North-West Passage.) So, instead, I did another 65 minute session on the exercise bike [...]
I did another 65 minute session on the exercise bike this afternoon. I stuck to a pretty high cadence and moderate resistance setting. Fairly boring, but effective.
