Cycling

Having problems at the moment with motivation, and lack of sleep is playing havoc with my energy levels. When the energy levels are OK, I do far too much in a week and then struggle the next week. So last week I only rode about 40 miles. The week before that it was about 200. Given that those 200 miles were no more than 10 hours on the bike, over 7 days, and this leaves me completely drained, then I'd say there's massive room for improvement.

But before this spell I'd managed to lap Llandegla in 1hr 4min 30s. And last time I rode on the bash I managed the whole loop, averaging 23.5mph.

I need to try and keep putting the miles in, do some core strength work, and some intervals on hills, and hopefully I'll see massive improvements on last year in the hill climbs. Then over the winter I'll get a training programme sorted out, and next summer I should be much quicker. Maybe even try racing.
