I'm struggling back to fitness after a period of injury and illness which has resulted in an excess of "fatness"!
As I am reluctant to ride when it is very cold, foggy etc (recurring chest infections) the bulk of my recent riding has been on the turbo. I started off with regular gentle sessions of an hour with 2 hour sessions at weekends. I then moved up to intervals in the week but then I had time off again owing to work and the death of a family member (an uncle who I only ever saw a handful of times). I started on the hour long sessions, level 2 only, just to get back to square one and to move the flab. Meanwhile a roadie mate of mine started giving me a hard time about wasting my time not doing structured sessions. My argument was that to shift weight and get myself used to riding again, time on the bike is better than no time. He wouldn't budge though which left me wondering.... am I wasting my time after all?
