It's all about the bike

Week three was pretty much as prescribed by cyclng Dave.

Wednesday --- 90 minutes, with two 20 minute z4/z5 hard riding. Gel between sections

Thursday -- 120 minutes -- Zone 3 pushing to the upper limit of z3 in three different sections.
(didnt bring enough food on this one and bonked at 95 minutes -- quick jump off the bike for a banana -- last 20 minutes were then hard)

Friday - rest

Saturday -- 3 hours, rolling ride on new bike, mostly z3 but some Devon hills helped with the 6 x z4/z5 sections - 1 gel, 1 power bar, 1 iso gel -- not enough food and started to lose it on the run in home

Sunday --- 4 hours, rolling/hilly ride - 60 miles- probably too much z4 and 5.
2 x gels, 1 x power bar, 1 x iso jelly

Monday --- 60 minutes z3.
Warm up then two 20 minutes z3 sections. Legs were tired from Sunday and it was a struggle to get in to then maintain z3 but did it all.

I hope tomorrow is a rest day.
