[quote="Daniel Gee"]its easy ant,
training group on saturdays & when it starts up on wednesday evenings the chaingang-thats all you need to do & by march you'll be flying!
then once you have a season's racing under your belt you'll know where & what you need to develop & you can make up your mind about the degree to which you're prepared to commit to this nonsense.
in the meantime I wouldn't worry too much about this training lark.
You know what Dan thats just what I'm going to do. Going to keep doing exactly what I've been doing and that is keping up the work rate and pushing myself. Seems to have done me no harm so far. I firmly believe that had I undertaken a training ritual of working to HR then I'd be no where near as quick as I am now. I need to get that speed and endurance in my legs before starting to look at my training from a wider angle.
What will be interesting is to follow Seans and Marky Marks progress whilst training the FaCT way though I doubt I'll need to be looking over my shoulder in case they catch me up. These pair have been cycling longer than myself and put more hours in on the bike compared to me.
(By the way guys thats in no way a dig at you, rather a subtle way of me saying stop wasting your time, get out there and try pushing yourselves harder instead of riding round everywhere at walking pace watching your heart rate every 10 seconds) Go on, thrash your legs, fair more enjoyable than staring down at a HR monitor wondering if you should walk over the speed bumps in case your heart rate goes to high from the effort of climbing them.
Yours awaiting some kind of reply claiming I'm talking crap.
Ant the out spoken one
