Update: 16 wks...
Weight: 13st 9.8. BMI: 27.3. Body Fat: 23.0%. Body Water: 53.1%.
Wk 17 Training: Hours: 10:50. Bike: 186.0k. Work: 8,274 KCal.
Weight…
Well pleased with this result. Down 5lbs on last week – whilst this seems an awful lot please note that I put on 1lb last week so it is really only 4.6lbs in the last fortnight. In that light I think it is a good result therefore without being over the top. More milestones this week:
- Weight has now dropped below 14 stone
- BMI is down into the “27’s”
- Total loss is now over 2 stone – 29.2 lbs (13.2kg) in 12wks @ 2.4lbs/wk
Training…
Not a bad week. I had targeted 12 hrs this week and only managed just under 11 hrs – however this still made it my largest week in terms of both hours and KCals and concluded with another long ride (95k solo) on Sunday done without stops to help get me used to hours in the saddle without breaks.

good skills again rich
It looks like there has been some hard work put into this weeks training, you'll need every minute of it when you are out in france.
not long to go now keep it up and i'll try not to distract you in the pub on friday! There is no shame in Cranberry juice (unless you are on your own stag do.)
What is next the 'Marathon des Sables?' http://www.darbaroud.com/index_uk.php
This years kicked off 3 days ago and finishes on saturday! my thoughts are with them!! There are still plenty of places for next year apparently and you need a lot less kit than the Etape du Tour.
Unfortunately my Reading half marathon training stalled at 5 miles and 14 1/2 stone so i'll think i'll wait till 2009!
keep it up
all the best Ben
Ben,
Thanks for your encouragement. Looking forward to this weeks rest week - and having just 8 hours of training !!!
Hmmm Marathon des Sables - I don't think so. I'm not much of a fan of sand or running. So running on sand seems like a bad combination.
Sorry to hear that the wheels came off your half marathon attempt.
See you Friday. Bring on the Mocktails...
Cheers,
Rich
