On the bike

My leg unfortunately worsened since my last blog and so my training has been done done on the Exercise Bike since Tuesday. With a bit of luck my cardio is still on track and will still allow a decent attempt at Canberra. I was hoping to try and duplicate where possible my running with appropriate training on the bike, so a big week on the bike occurred.

I removed my entry from earlier in the week and replaced with this one, thanks Sugar and Epi re comments, bonus of the time spent on the bike is that I've lost some weight nearly a kg in a week.

Congrats to Epi on a huge pb in the 10k this morning, really well deserved and puts you in a great place re doing sub 3 at Canberra. I still have high hopes of doing the same, so the next few weeks are crucial.

If all goes to plan this week will start running early in the week and will take it easy re pace with tempo and intervals to be done on the bike, would love to be able to do long run on Sunday.
