Results: February…
This month seems to have been unusually short ! Here is my progress:
WEIGHT:
Target = 14st 9.0lbs (29.2 bmi). Actual = 14st 8.0lbs (29.0 bmi).
Despite this weeks hiccup I am still 2lbs ahead of my monthly target. It appears I have already used up some of the gain that I ‘banked’ last month. Nevertheless I am still ahead of target and motivated to keep losing the weight. I hope to be reach two milestones in the next 4 weeks – to break below the 14 Stone and to move out of my comfy 36inch jeans down to a 34inch waistline.
LONG RIDES:
Target = >120km. Actual distance = 93.3k.
No metric centuries this month, however I was away for two weeks and completed two 90k+ weekend rides. Target increases to 160k next month which is somewhat daunting as this is likely to take 7 hours !!
SPEED ENDURANCE: 3 Laps Richmond Park
Target = <1:04. Not completed fast paced three laps this month.
As I mentioned last month I was keen to get a ‘Turbo Trainer’ to allow me to benchmark my 60 minute endurance without traffic or downhill freewheels (!). Well the Turbo Trainer has been been ordered so pretty soon I will be using that for some hard sessions. Will report more when my new Tacx Flow arrives.
ERGO:
5k Target = 19:10. Actual = 18:47
2k Target = 07:10. Actual = 7:00.5
These are what I am going to term ‘RBs’ (recent bests) – certainly the best erg scores I have achieved in the last few years.Please with this progress, even if a little disappointed not to have broken the ‘magic’ 7 minutes for 2k. I burried myself in the last 500 metres knowing that sub 7 was on and just couldn’t get there. Next month I’ll conquer it.
HOURS:
Target = approx 8 Hrs/Wk. Actual hours = 23:16 = 5:49 Av. Hrs/ Wk.
Given my ‘rest’ last week and the fact that I was on holiday for two of the four weeks this month then this is not too bad. I am starting to feel more at ease with putting in lots of hours which bodes well.
