It's been a bit of a mixed bag for me since my last post. Christmas has been and gone along with my training plan for the holidays. I had high hopes of racking up some miles whilst off work, but, that fell by the wayside when I pulled a muscle in my back. This meant I only got out for a couple of rides before Christmas, before having an enforced week off. I then managed to get a good week of training in during the first week in January before I pulled another muscle, this time in my neck. I am currently on another few days off due to this neck injury.

There were a couple of good points over the last month. I finally managed to get out on the road and put some miles in. I had reasonably good speed at 25 kph riding endurance and a heady 27 kph riding threshold. Since I haven't started threshold training yet this was no real surprise.

Prior to my neck injury I had manged to complete 4.5 hours of endurance training and 45 mins of threshold training in one week, which was my best week so far. Hopefully, once my neck has sorted itself out I can get back into a good training routine and get some good miles in.

I've also got a retest with Dr. Garry Palmer on the 9th of February, so, I'll be able to confirm I'm still training in the correct zones.
