Training Log Archive: Stodge

Start of a new period of training, starting to prepare for Europeans.
Will involve some running once I have sorted this groin pull - more treatment on Wed.

Food diary starting again as no excuses about being too busy or too tired etc, have put on nearly 2 lb in the last couple of months, just need to be organised and stop the snacking on crap.

protien shake
2 x brown pitas, spinach and tuna
1 x pack of cheesy oatcakes
1 x eat nakd bar
1 x holly made fairy cake ( just before training)
orange juice
salmon, cous cous and salad
Yog dried fruit and nuts

Sherbrook hills x 6
All seated, including last from stepping stones up to Brocton Coppice.
Defo getting stronger.
Also tried a approx 130-140rpm from rifle ranger road corner to trig point, nearly made it with quads on fire, might try that again

follow the dog, very hard work rigid

Event: Sheffield MTBO Weekend
 

decided to give it some on the hills today and it worked, second place, 19 secs down. One missed track junction cost me the win !
Also just 1 sec ahead of Killian in 3rd - sweet...
Also got prize for the fastest run in from the last control which certainly starts to put demons to bed ref my ability to climb...

very bumbly ride round llandegla, let rip on a couple of decsents but mainly poodling round at the back encouraging the slower ones

Back on track, tiredness gone, flying tonight.
Ran out of food on the last climb back up through Cannock wood. Had a rubarb and custard torq gel. mmmmmmm

Bloody control stolen from cycle shack, and one in the wrong place.
Rode well and picked a good route but got lost in the estates round rugeley.
Went non comp seeing as I did the map and wasnt navigating for most of it as I know the area like the back of my hand

ride up to chasers training and back, nice and easy
