Tuesday Morning Training

The puppies woke me up at 4 a.m and after attending to them there was no excuse for me to miss the Tuesday morning ‘new’ training group. Last week I went straight back to sleep and felt guilty. I arrived about 5 minutes early (5:15)by lazy car and there was nobody there. Then they all […]

Ride Ride Golf

Had a short 25km over to Fukuda to check out another secret training course and will probably go this Tuesday morning for a 5:30 a.m hard work out. This morning’s training run was pretty much as usual. Still lots of rape seed flowers out and millions of insects buzzing around them, up my nostrils and […]

Tuesday Night Hanami

I woke up at 4:15a.m this morning with the intention of going to my first morning run in Fukuda but within about 5 seconds decided to go back to sleep. Feeling guilty about that most of the day I did a lot. Well, a lot more than I usually do. 1: Home center. More pebbles […]

Sunday Morning Hisashiburi

Today was my first Sunday morning in a long time. Last week was puppy sitting, the week before was Tokyo Marathon, the weeks before then were running or raining. I got the puppies weighed and checked before 6:30, had the bike ready by 7 and was at the start right on time at 7:30. My […]

Tuesday Night Training

Finally managed to slip away from puppy duties and get on the bike. It was a fast paced training. I did 10kms before the others arrived then we started about 9:30pm. One guy escaped on the first lap and we never caught him. We tried pretty hard to catch him too. Considering I hadn’t been […]

Tuesday Night Semas & Gym

Last night I made it to training after riding to Kasukabe and back. 60 windy km all up. I didn’t want to push myself at training as I may go tonight as well and Wednesdays are usually harder. A few of the less experienced riders are starting to ride stronger which is good for our […]

Hayfever

Have been battling this for about 2 or 3 weeks now. Feels like a head cold. Haven’t been riding much. Had a few runs, 10km last night which was easy but I feel like I’m full of lactic acid right now. Just about to ride 20kms to meet an old friend for a chat, may […]

CW-X Stabilyx Tight – Men’s +100km

Had the day off and didn’t ride over the weekend due to work and hay fever. I did run on Saturday night for 10kms but my right calf buckled in the cold conditions and I had to walk the last km home. (precautionary measure.). I’ve had a few of these calf attacks since I’ve been […]

Wednesday Night Sprints

Been feeling the cold more so this week. I don’t think it is any colder than last month but I’m feeling it more. I only rode 43km since last week, haven’t been to the gym, haven’t been running and have been eating too much. The good news is my protein powder arrived and I’m back […]
