Steady paced ride. Pedal at 90-95rpm, trying not to get out of breath.
Check that you are recovering after each training session.
I decided to do my hilly route tonight.
I was lucky to dodge the rain and it was actually a really nice evening.
I was happy with tonight's ride. I can't compare it with the last time I did it because as you may remember my phone ran out of battery. This time I averaged 12.4mph which is good but I still feel I need to be a little faster before August. The hill climb was a little bit slower I think but it was steady.
I definitely need more hill practice before August. I can do them but I am slow and they tend to leave me very breathless. I think I probably need an asthma review before August too. I don't really suffer on a day to day basis but I feel like I get out of breath quickly when doing hills. I perhaps need some tips on managing this to make sure I'm riding safe.
Speaking of riding safe I saw a lady cycling this evening in dark clothes, no helmet and an iPod on. Seriously dangerous - don't try this at home kids!
