hurt my back last Sunday, bent down, could hardly move, lay on floor and slowly and gently got up
much pain for a couple of days, but acute back pain is rarely serious, so I gently and carefully worked a few hours each day, and slowly upped the effort, pain subsided and stiffness set in, touching toes took effort, was back to normal by Friday night
my own fault for neglecting core and stretching, and at the end of a hard weekend fell asleep in an armchair
will make a point of stretching more after cycling now
Anyway, Deliveroo 20 miles last night, up and out early doors today, time trialled in cold wind, got my second ever fastest time, held back a bit cos worked tonight, went out and did another 25 Deliveroo miles tonight
some of the guys in my club are stupidly quick, sure they have really fancy pancy bikes, but if I rode their bike and they rode mine, I would be a bit quicker but they would still beat me by a country mile LOL |

Today, I managed more circuits and weights than I've done before in one day, with recently increased weight on some exercises, and NO back ache AT ALL
Probably will feel very broken tomorrow ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Trained last night and spent the evening doing knife avoidance & defence (again)
Not a lot of cardio.
However I did end up sweating and puffing so there must of been a bit of cardio in there.
Got some sweet bruises today .
Been doing my 2 minute micro workout every day at home.
It seems to be working in a small way.
My instructor said that compared to how I was when I started, I’m a lot fitter than then .
However I was really unfit when I started. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I DNS a time trial today.
I am gutted, fed up, pissed off and unmotivated. Simple admin error I missed the cut off to enter, my fault.
But I'm so deflated by it, I can't see past it.
I hammered my bike home and got some angry Strava top tens taking the rage out through the pedals, there was no sense of achievement though.
Now I'm just feeling flat, and wondering why I bother.
Made a load of sacrifices to enter this race, part of a league, no point carrying on now in this league, I'll be the also run who just makes up the numbers. Well I would have been anyway, but with a mid table finish. |

Also I am still wheezing after some runs so I went to my doctor who said it might be mild asthma. I now have an inhaler . |
I don’t know how seriously you take your running or if you are competing?
Many inhalers are steroid based, is yours?
Would this affect any results or lead to disqualification as the result of a random drug test?
This may sound a bit silly, but I seem to remember athletes at the Olympics being disqualified for taking cough syrup?
Just a thought? |
I run Parkruns and am a member of two running clubs, nothing competative at all. Im never going to be at the point where I could be subjected to random drugs tests!

Well I didn't know that.
Fortunately, I rarely use them, unlike the Ibuprofen and allergy tablets.
I'd take a whole box of decongestants over a week or so, but a spray I don't use much, two or three days in a row at most, and then not use for ages. |

Yeah, I'd be concerned about doing the amount of fitness training you do, which obviously increases your heart rate to the max, and taking a lot of Ibuprofen. I take them very occasionally when my back is particularly painful, but I'm wary of it. Of course, I'm no medical professional, but just seems logical not to be using too many painkillers for anything - as few as you can get away with seems safest. It may be that your tolerance will be higher because you are fit, but even so...
Also, as someone who does do a lot of hard exercise, you ought to have a better pain tolerance - unless there's some specific condition you're taking them for. You're not taking them just because of normal muscular aches caused by your training, are you? You know what they say; no pain, no gain! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Well it's work. I cycle when I'm tired, i cycle when I'm injured, I cycle when I'm pissed off with cycling and don't want to do it anymore. Then I get up and go out and do it again.
But I'm going to book in and see a sports physio.
Also, wifey bought me a book Triathletes Training Bible, hope she's not trying to tell me something, I ain't doing a triathlon! but I'm picking up a few tips from that,
so am sleeping more, and have stopped skipping stretches etc
today, I lay in until 11pm,will have an afternoon nap too, and won't get on a bike until 6.30pm and do a social ride with my club.
I am 321 miles into the race at your pace 600 challenge. |

back on a stricter diet, getting slightly flabby
I've cycled 1,901 miles so far this year, hoping to exceed 6,000
Also, still on for the Race at Your Pace 600 miles in April I've done 443 already.
Aiming to cycle down to Locksheath, Fareham (Near Portsmouth) Spring bank holiday. Did it once before, hopefully smash that time on my better bike.
Still just can't seem to motivate myself to go running, I can't get out of bed for Park Run, which is a bit early for me, as I'm often working until gone 10pm the night before.
Intend to go out with my running club on Tuesday evening haven't been for weeks.
Tomorrow I start work at 5pm, so will go out for a bit of cycle at lunchtime, 10 to 20 miles and meet the wife at a country cafe, she will take her motorcycle. |

It's all gone to shit since realising my knees won't cope with running, and therefore there is no really effective CV training I can do. What's the point? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Tried an elliptical cross trainer? Most gyms have them. |
Don't waste your breath on me. Can't afford gym membership, otherwise I'd bloody live there at the moment.
I was quite pleased with myself for what I had achieved with no specialist equipment, spending no money. But a good cv workout is actually what I need, if I'm to bother at all. The circuits and weights were really more just to round things out. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

As he said, cross trainer. I don't do treadmill because my knees aren't good, plus I have a weak ankle due to a bad football tackle years ago. Or pick up a cheap exercise bike or rowing machine. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.
