Stationary Cycling - November 20/21 2010


That was yet another PB! I did a daft thing today - overstretched my achilles again. This will delay my return to running )-:

Stationary Cycling - Mid-November 2010


My achilles heel injury is improving, so I just keep persevering with stationary indoor cycling to maintain my fitness levels. It is tough mentally. I am desperate to return to running and particularly the weekly races such as the 5K Parkruns.

Stationary Cycling - November 13th 2010


Time = 1hr 2mins 20secs. A massive PB!
I really went for it today as I had rested for the last three days. The time is decent, but my heart rate average (152 bpm) was much higher than in recent days. Still satisfied with that nonetheless. My achilles is improving. That is now 6 weeks with only two days of running (with injury).

Stationary Cycling - October/November 2010


My achilles heel is still a bit sore, but improving a bit now that I have stopped running on it. I had to skip the race 'Run With The Wind 10K in Strathaven' and it depressed me somewhat, so I took my frustration out on my stationary bike and clocked a massive PB for the 42km (26 miles) indoor cycle that I do regularly when I'm injured. Impressively my heart rate average was only 121bpm and I even knocked 1min 30secs off my previous record to clock 1hr 04mins 46secs. Well happy! :-)
