9/12 - Long bike ride - 28 miles in just under an hour and a half. My speed was 0.5mph faster on average than the previous day. Legs felt smoked afterwords, probably a build up from the leg work out yesterday - esp. glutes/hams
9/13 - Back workout (pull-ups, rows, plus biceps and core) followed by a 1 hour 20.50mile ride on the stationary bike. A full 1 mph faster on average than on 9/12.
9/14, 9/15 - Took 2 rest days, legs were feeling a bit tired after a week of 105.35 miles, albeit on the bike. I continued to do my leg exercises (stretches, stair lifts) with minimal discomfort. Was feeling good enough to run by 9/15 but thought better of it. I am planning on 1 more week of strict bike, and look to do a short run on the weekend followed by a mix of run/bike the following week assuming my achilles twinge is gone. From there I will slowly ramp up the running.
9/16 - Started with Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, followed by a 16.2 mile ride in 48:33 (20.05mph). Felt good. By the end of the day my abs were stiff as I had added a bit of weight to my leg lifts and decline curls.
9/17 - Long ride this morning of 30.64 miles in 1:33:02 (19.76mph) which was faster than my previous long rides with little change on perceived effort. A sign I am getting stronger.
Last night I also finished Relentless Forward Progress (which I will review at some point this week).
I also breezed through Brendan Brazier's Thrive, which I picked up from the library (I was disappointed after much build up, will also review),
and next up are What I talk about when I talk about Running, also from the Library,
and Killian Jornet's book (very excited to read this).
I have also been watching a ton of Sage Canaday's videos and reading his blog, which you can find here. (sagecanaday.com)
