Stationary Cycling - December 2010

My PB for my 42Km (26.2 miles) stationary cycle was set yesterday (Christmas Day 2010), but I wasn't wearing my Garmin Watch so I can't upload the data. The time, nevertheless, was 1hr 1min 25secs. The average heart rate was approxiamately 140bpm. The paths are still covered with snow and ice, so I can't even pop out for a training run and check out the progress on my achilles heel.

Happy with that performance today, since it was another PB! I think I am ready to run again, but the pavements are still covered in snow and ice.

Stationary Cycling - December 5th 2010

I am showing real signs of improvement in my stationary cycling sessions. That was was yet another PB today for the 42km (26miles) indoor cycle. My achilles I think is fine again, but I haven't been able to run injury free for nine weeks now. I tried twice in recent weeks, but it back fired on me. I would have gone out running today, but the paths are covered with snow and ice. It has been like that for 5 days now. I hope we are not in for yet another big freeze, as last year was a runner's nightmare.

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! :-)
