Longer Morning Journey – BionicOldGuy

I’ve modified my schedule so Monday is my longest trip of the week. That is the trip I’ll be ramping up every week till I do a metric century a while later this month (one among two Strava challenges I signed up for in March). Yesterday’s trip (on Strava right here) was 41 miles in slightly below 3 hours half-hour, leaving me pleasantly drained. I had meant this to be my first “Beaumont block” of the 12 months, however needed to minimize it brief as a result of I needed to repair a flat. I bought this time period from Mark Beaumont’s description of his around the world biking file (The Man Who Cycled the World).

He achieved his wonderful common every day mileage by driving 4 blocks of 4 hours every day, with a brief break in between, after which one longer every day break. So I did virtually one 4 hour block in the present day. I don’t suppose I’d have been able to get again on the bike and do one other block after a brief break, that’s one thing I’d need to work as much as. I can see myself doing presumably two blocks. However not 4, and definitely not averaging 4 for 78 days in a row which is what Mark did for the file.
