Training

My training plan is like me - simple.

Basically, I need to be doing between 75 and 85 miles per day confortably. Before Christmas, I did a 30 mile ride, and pretty much collapsed!!! Last weekend I did 48 miles, and was ready to collapse at about 40...improvement is a wonderful thing.

My technical training plan involves riding 3 times per week, once at the weekend, and twice mid-week. Each month, the rides will get progressively longer. I may also get a swiss ball, but to be honest that's purely to work off the beer belly.

January - 20 miles twice a week - 45 miles at weekend
February - 25 miles twice a week - 55 miles at weekend
March - 25 miles three times a week - 65 miles at weekend
April - 30 miles three times a week - 75 miles at weekend
May - 30 miles three times a week - 85 miles at weekend

See, simple.
