Spin-tastic

Every so often I make a fleeting comment about spinning and it featuring as part of my weekly training if I can fit it in and today was another great session.

Unfortunately, I left my heart rate strap at home so went into the sessions sans technology. I wonder whether this is sometimes for the best as I can’t compare to previous sessions and just have to go for it. Also, I have been very lazy this weekend, no long run or anything sporting – aka a rest weekend! As well as resting I managed an early night last night and woke up this morning feeling pretty good – unusual for a Monday!

Today’s session was cracking, I may not know what my heart rate got too but the puddle around my bike was enough evidence for me to show I had put in the effort needed! Brilliant

On a similar note last week I got out my mountain bike and went for a ride. This is the first bike session I have done since being at school and I was a little anxious – how good would I be. At the end of the ride I was confident that spinning and running has helped massively and the transition to biking (at a leisurely pace) was nothing to be concerned about! The only difficulty I had was being able to get enough resistance from the gears on the bike to stop my legs flying off the pedals! Time to start putting the pennies in the jar for a new bike…eep!

Swim and jog tomorrow I think before weds Serpentine session…
