What a load of bollocks. Last night prized myself off the sofa next to my warm cosy Mrs, put on lycra and went out in the cold and rain for an hour of grim wet roads. What a pillock.

You’d have been better off taking the Mrs upstairs and ripping the back out of her for an hour….

You may even get special treats then 🙂

I hear you.

I just forsook my measly 30 minute lunch break to do horrible intervals up and down a dingy stairwell.

Followed this up with a freezing cold shower in order to avoid smelling like a chunk of brie once back at my desk.

just commute….it is free training.

As ton said if you can commute on the bike then its a great way to do training in dead time. 2h 30mins training for me at least 3 times a week in time that would otherwise be spent in the car.

Just think of all that character you are building.

Yeah not very effective when you are working from home. My next engagement is in Bonn so it’s a bit of a stretch 🙂

Nice humblebrag, Moley 😉

[and you meant ‘prised’ btw]

If you had got your arse off the sofa earlier,it would have been 2 hours.

Last night I went out for a couple of hours on not too wet bridleways. It was great, maybe because it was a ride rather than training. And it was followed by a pint. I may still be a pillock though.

Does Not Compute

Interviewer: “What motivates you to go training when you get up, look out the window and realise its raining and cold?”

Robert Millar: “Well, you judge how cold its likely to be, look at how hard it’s raining, then realise that Sean Kelly has already been out for two hours without gloves”

Rule 9 at work.

Firstly: You’re only going to get fitter if you keep training.

Secondly: You’re only going to keep training if you enjoy it.

Thirdly: What are you training for? Surely there’s some motivation lurking in there somewhere?

I coach a lad whose only training is commuting. We’ve got some great traffic light intervals going at the moment.

Winter miles…
