The commute is about 6 miles so I've got a choice of either doing a short ride into work and ~90min afterwards, or ballanceing it out and doing 15miles each way, at the moment 15miles a day is leaving my legs feeling dead so after reading the 'question of fitness' article in this months mag I'll be getting some of the additives recomended.</p> <p>Once I've hit that target consistently for a whole month I'll set myself a new one. Also got a 120mile road ride planned for March which should seriously stretch my endurance to breaking point as I only managed half that in a long ride last week! After that probably focus on getting a time under 3 hours for the London-Brighton. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/so-that-was-januarynew-years-resolutions-and-willy-waving#post-2237646 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:53:15 +0000 maxray 2237646@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>It has flown by hasnt it! :S</p> <p>Managed to tip past 300k for the month which was good.

Not bad!</p> <p>Modified my diet a little, so cut the crap out &amp; eating as I should do on the whole, I went from 13st6 to 12st12 over the same period, although I expect to plateau over the next half a stone, which is about right for me with a low body fat content.</p> <p>New target is to increase flexibility now along with exercise. Might have to take up yoga on those rest days! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/so-that-was-januarynew-years-resolutions-and-willy-waving#post-2237574 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:33:04 +0000 iainc 2237574@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Bob - well done indeed - I had a similar plan, but it never happened - never mind, will try it for Feb ! </p>
