 | Turbo Trainer 47:00 [3] | |
| |
| 10 min w/up. 4 lots of (1 min on, 1 min off, 2 min on, 2 min off). Wanted to do these on 7.5, but after 10 secs changed that idea to 6.5. Legs are a bit tired and I am worried about doing too much intensity on the turbo trainer, but the problem is that without structure and short-term goals I get really bored! Maybe I will need to invest in even more magazines. |

| Turbo Trainer 1:41:00 [3] | |
| |
| 23 min w/u and c/d, the rest was just riding - tried not to stay in the same gear for too long and to get out of the saddle every now and then. I've discovered that aero-bars could equally be marketed as magazine/book rests. |

| Turbo Trainer 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| 15 min w/u, then 2 by 20 min efforts. 10 min c/d. Did the efforts one notch higher than last week (on 5.5). Think I could have done 3? |

| Turbo Trainer 1:15:00 [3] | |
| |
| 15 min warm-up and 5 min cool-down, the rest was kind of tempo or a bit easier, with a minute out of the saddle every now and then. Felt a bit tired in the legs, but very bored, so I stopped a bit earlier than planned. |

| Turbo Trainer 25:00 [4] | |
| |
| Usual 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 minute efforts with 1 min recovery in between. Did the 1-3 minute intervals on a higher setting than last time (6.5), the 4-5 on 5.5 and the last 1 min effort on 7. Felt OK, and it was good to feel like I was actually getting my heart rate up a bit. |

| Warm-up/cool down. Read a women's fashion magazine that I found on my boyfriend's desk (!) |

| 10 minutes on the rowing erg was OK, then I had the idea to put the cuff thingy that is meant to be used for leg cable exercises around my forearm instead of my ankle. It's not so easy, though, as it slips around and the force is always against wherever the cable is anchored. Better than nothing, I moved my arms around in various ways like a chicken, and earnt some funny looks for it. Perhaps I should use white strapping tape next time to make it more obvious why I'm bovvering. |

| Still have a badish headache that developed yesterday so will take the day off. Went to the doc today - he reckons I tore the ligament and will need 6-8 weeks off doing anything to piss it off, such as going to the gym or riding a bike (for a couple of weeks at least). |
