Woke up and did my weigh in and I was surprised to see that I have put weight on this week again and I am up to 109kgs 🙁 (increase of 0.4kgs). I a little worried although the extra weight will be added muscle as I am definitely losing body fat as my face, stomach and love handles are noticeably slimmer than they were.
I am more worried about the fact that I ache like hell after each workout which is not normal and means that I am not able to work out 2 days in a row due to the soreness! If it continues to be like this I will have to go see the doctor to find out what is going on!
Due to the soreness from Saturday’s training I decided not to go t0 the gym this morning as I was still hurting even though I did literally nothing yesterday! and I needed to be ok to ride this afternoon and I need to test the Speedco with the new longer stem on it to see if it makes the bike ridable for me or if I have to get s longer frame from somewhere else!
I have decided that as my weight keeps going up I need to change up my training a bit and add more aerobic activity as well as more track work to my training. I have decided that I only want to do weights on my lower body this month until my body gets used to the extra exertion then I will add upper body from there. I have decided that I am going to walk to and from the gym instead of riding the bike as it adds more aerobic exercise to my day and it also relaxes me and helps with my back spasm’s so makes a lot of sense. When I get to the gym I want to try and do 10 minutes of skipping and then an hour of recumbent and stationary bike on aerobic days and 10 minutes of skipping followed by weights on leg days. On Monday afternoon’s I want to add a track session doing pumping and full laps to try and build up my track fitness as it is severely lacking at the moment. This means that I can not do Leg weights as it will be too much in one day.
This month’s training will be:
Monday – AM – Gym (Aerobic), PM – Track Session
Tuesday – AM – Gym (Aerobic) , PM – Sprints
Wednesday – AM – Gym (Aerobic), PM – Gates or Racing Bristol
Thursday -AM – Gym (Legs) , PM – Sprints or Intervals
Friday -AM – Rest, PM – Manuals
Saturday – AM – Training, PM Gates
Sunday – AM – Gym (Legs), PM Rest.
So the track session didn’t go as planned! I did one pump lap and then the second time down the start hill my chain snapped and I went OTB and landed in a pile on the floor. I came out of it a but bloodied and banged up but no broken bones or concussions so all good. The bike lost the end of a grip, has crooked bars and the chain is in 3 pieces 🤦♂️
I have got a new chain coming tomorrow so hopefully it arrives before I leave for sprints but if not I will get the Meybo in one piece again just in case. Taking about the Meybo the bungs to close up the brake lugs arrived today and have been fitted to the bike.
