Weigh In: 26 wks...
Weight: 15st 2.2lbs, BMI: 30.2, Body Fat: 28.2%, Body Water: 50.4%.
Wk 27 Training: Hours: 6:42, Bike: 119.9k, Work: 5,177 KCal.
Not a bad week – I lost my targeted 2lbs and I was ‘there or there abouts’ my training target of 7 hours. In fact, I had said to myself that if I stayed the same weight this week and consolidated losing 7 lbs last week I would have been content. So that makes me more than content.
The weather this week was generally better and that meant it was easier to get out into on the road (for my many laps of Richmond Park). However I had two non-training days this week; on Thursday I was on an ‘Energy Low’ so took a self-authorised rest day; on Friday I was just not motivated and succumbed to an unauthorized lazy day. Rest & recuperation are going to be important over the next 26 weeks (yes, just six months tomorrow!), however, I need to keep motivated and cut out the ‘Lazy’ days or I’ll not meet my training & performance targets.

Good skills rich, keep it up. It will all be worth it when you are half way up a french mountain in 40'c with only half a litre of water left.
Your blog is the catalyst needed to get me off my arse and out onto the road to train for the Reading Half Marathon in 10 weeks. (that seems a long time away) This fitness is all of a sudden quite difficult aged 32 3/4. I think i'll retire at 33.
all the best, ben
get rid of those talking books and get some 'eye of the tiger' on your mp3
Ben,
Thanks for your encouragement (and for giving me my first comments!!!).
Glad to hear that I have helped with your motivation to train for the Reading Half. Keep sticking in the miles over the next 10 weeks and I can see you PB-ing.
Rich
