Spurzzz

Thanks all for the feedback - Re-reading my post I can see its a bit whack and doesn't sound like much fun does it!!! The FUN points suggested makes soooo much sense, I"ll definitely be taking that advice. That and including friends at Koeberg Cool beans, have a lekker day guys ! Much appreciated

Looking for some advice please ... I ride weekly on Sundays with my 7 year old on his MTB in the local suburban area. Since we've started last year he has now managed to comfortably conjure up a speed of 15km within an hour (which we're both quite impressed with ) Questions ... - Do we now work on improving his speed within the hour or look at extending the hour while maintaining the speed (he is very comfortable after an hour and asks to carry on) - Any advice on some flattish jeeptrail type terrain that I can introduce him to in the Cape area, traffic in the suburbs is whack at times - Is 15km/h average for someone at his age? Thanks a mill

I had something very similar to you where the harder I trained the worse my body responded. This carried on for more than 2 years where eventually the body pretty much caved in and all sorts of weird problems surfaced (palpitations, muscles sore at 10k's @ 15km/h blah blah). I, like you went through tons of tests and doctors. I ended up at SSI where Prof Martin Schellnus performed some tests and found a vitamin deficiency that hopefully is the root cause of what was termed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It's about a month later and although not entirely recovered, I'm most certainly on the right path. Hope this helps dude as I know it can be very whack !

Sorry dudes, this bra is SUSPECT !!! Mr Wolffm starts off with an easy ...

hi - try Magnesium like Slow mag ... does wonders

Hey there I had an issue with my left knee too and played around without much success with saddle height. When I raised too high fixing the one knee, the other started paining Breakthrough was when I combined saddle height change with cleat adjustments ie. saddle up = cleats back, vice versa. Net effect is the same leg stretch with a nicer feeling saddle height Worked for me Good luck

Try it !! I've been on for around 6weeks now and the progress is freaky Its actually scary how much my speed at 70% has improved ... by training sooo slowww (friggin boring tho) here's another link http://www.rrca.org/resources/articles/slowdown.html

Interesting thing I read from Mark Allen (the tri champion of the world guy). Here is a link where he explain the benefits of aerobic http://www.markallenonline.com/perceived.asp
