Day 7 Week 1 -Target Exceeded

Well that's 7 days of training completed!

How has it gone?

Well, the riding has been fine, apart from some wet weather. But as it is winter at the moment there is nothing that can be done about that, its character building!

So let's have a look at some figures:

In total I have ridden 149km's against a target of 126km's - so with that I am very happy.

However, my dumbbell exercises have taken a bit of a hit towards the end of the week.

Not that I am unhappy with it, as I intend to make the reps up over the next couple of days.

Plus being honest I set my targets high, knowing that if I managed to complete all the exercises I would be extremely happy, but if not I would still be where I want to be.

So all is not lost and I am happy with my progress thus far.

Today was another ride on the same route on the Fat Bike, complete with loaded panniers which I must get around to weighing.

Below is a table showing a segment of my route and how I have improved over the last 7 days.

As you can see on the 9th I was averaging 11.8km/h but on the 16th I had improved to 14.7km/h - This is such a massive motivating factor for me!

16 Dec 2018	2:35	14.7km/h
2	14 Dec 2018	2:38	14.4km/h
3	13 Dec 2018	2:42	14.0km/h
4	12 Dec 2018	2:45	13.8km/h
4	15 Dec 2018	2:45	13.8km/h
6	10 Dec 2018	2:51	13.3km/h
7	11 Dec 2018	2:57	12.9km/h
8	9 Dec 2018	3:13	11.8km/h

Today for the most part it remained dry, but there were a couple of little showers to contend with. I only took the one picture today

But I did manage to make a short video which you can view HERE

Ride safe..
