I had to take a day off the bike yesterday. My body can always tell when it's had enough and I'm overtraining. So this morning I felt spry again and made one of my fastest commutes to work. It pays to rest every now and then.
Super important I think. I took a bit over a week off after my century back in July--more out of psychological fatigue than physical--and when I got back on the bike I was faster and felt really strong. I think it's also important to switch things up sometimes work on distance, sometimes on speed, sometimes on hills or whatever.0 -

Yuk! Then, just for good measure, they stick 3 big needles in my knee, and can't give me any results for a couple of days... I've been happier :grumble:

I'm almost at 150 now so count me in for 312.5 (500km)
Just past the half way point and I'm only at 228km, this is going to be a bit of a push, I think I must have got my math a little confused. Oh well shall push on0 -
Another day down, another 19km to add to my running total of 247km (154 miles)0

51.4 yesterday at the Waco Wild West ride. I swear 1/3 of it was uphill into the wind. They got some nasty storms after we left town so I guess that's what was blowing in. Still a lot of fun though!0
