So after sort of racing yesterday I can safely say that my back is a problem! I didn’t really get to do a full speed gate even so its time to slow down on the BMX racing and work on getting fit and healthy again! Although from talking to some of my friends yesterday I will take the bad back over heart issues and seizures that some of my friends are currently dealing with 🙁
I did a pre-fitness training weigh-in and I am back up to 107.8kgs again 🙁 Which may explain in part why my back is so sore! That and the fact that I have not been consistently walking for the past month!
We have track work starting on the the 13th of May so I will go back on the road bike at lunch tomes until the track is back in a running state again at the end of May when we will have 2 new reshaped and newly tarmacked VeloSolutions Berms 🙂 Once the berms are done I will start replacing some of the road rides with track sessions again and focus on jumping for a bit to try and progress my skill levels as I have basically been riding the same for the past 5 or so years with little to no progression 🙁
From tomorrow morning I have decided to do the following training:
AM:
Walk for an hour first thing. And when the back is less sore go back to rucking again.
I really need to get back into the habit of walking again every morning so I will go back to walking every morning again from tomorrow morning to quickly get back into the habit of getting up as soon as I wake up and getting showered and dressed and going for a walk as its the simplest way to resolve my back issues, gain fitness and lose body fat as well as generally making me happier and more content!
Lunch Times:
Due to the track being closed I have decided to make May my month of road riding to build a base fitness of some kind after my Month of being broken and sick! Weekends will be free to do whatever I feel like doing. I will take it easy on the bike as I want to get some zone 2 done so lower intensity than I would normally ride and definitely no racing anyone else that is going faster than me 🙂

Sat/ Sunday – No training so any exercise done will be a bonus!
Evenings:
In the evening (After work at 4pm) I plan to do an hour of either road bike again or Weight training. The weight training is going to be light weights to work on technique and build flexibility ready to add weight later on as my body gets healthier and the back sorts its self out! I will do a whole body routine with just basic exercises until I get used working out again! The evening road rides are more about being more active in the evening rather than being for any real fitness goal in mind although I may use the evening rides to do some hills to work on leg strength later on but for now they will have to be on either the 2 tunnels or Bath to Bristol cycle path as I am really broken and unfit again 🙁
