Cycle

Knee still tender, so did a 25 mile intense cycle through Leeds. Managed to keep an average speed of a shade under 20mph which is ok on my bike!

Nothing beats flying through the city at dusk on a bike while angry motorists sit in their tin boxes!!

Cycle

Route: 10m, hilly, road
Weather: dry for once and windy

Decided aginst running tonight as the muscle I tweaked yesterday has been a bit tender today, although it feels fine tonight. I figure that after giving my body such a pounding recently I need to listen to it and not push it for a while.

That said, I enjoyed a vigorous 10m cycle round the Otley 10 route tonight. Not far, but hilly and my heart rate was certainly up high for much of it.

I think one of these intense cycles per week could really help my cardio fitness.
