Milkworx Posted June 19, 2013 Share 2 months of zero to little training since April has caused the fitness graph to slide into oblivion. Also the extra 4 kg's of weight arrived from no where. Went out for brick session and to catch some sun on Monday did a wee 45k cycle and a 5k run boy did I struggle. Got to get my **** together sooooon. 5150 is coming up soon. Also in same boat, need to get my training up very soon!Did a 50k ride and it killed me, felt my legs for days........and the cold doesnt help.This was the temp at 7am in Cradle on Saturday ...never been so cold, EVER!!!

leaboy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Average distance per week has dropped from 150km's to 70km's.Stupid rain. I'll cycle in drizzle but not when its pissing, mud doesn't do wonders to the gears/brakes either Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/127406-how-is-your-winter-training-progressing/page/2/#findComment-1960120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted June 19, 2013 Share I'm keeping a steady 2 short rides and 1 long one per week.About 6-7 hrs.Base stuff. In general, if I don't ride my bike, I wanna climb the walls. So, it's a mental health issue...

Sportsworld.co.za Posted June 19, 2013 Share May - I managed 1700kms, which is the furthest I've ever done in a month.  June - dropped off a lot but my missus was overseas and the rain hit hard, but managing about 3 or 4 rides a week 150 to 200 kms. Trying to get ready for Knysna and keep fit for the new fun ride season approaching but thank goodness for IDT's as well.

eeeek Posted June 19, 2013 Share I get hypothermic so quickly that if the sun drops behind a cloud for a second my teeth start to chatter so animatedly that Intelligence agencies call their morse code translators; in winter running is about all I can manage without my core body temp dipping below 35°C Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/127406-how-is-your-winter-training-progressing/page/2/#findComment-1960168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
