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 in all two Strava challenges I signed up for in March). Yesterday’s trip (on Strava right here) was 41 miles in just below 3 hours half-hour, leaving me pleasantly drained. I had meant this to be my first “Beaumont block” of the yr, however needed to minimize it quick as a result of I needed to repair a flat. I acquired 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 day by day mileage by driving 4 blocks of 4 hours every day, with a brief break in between, after which one longer day by day break. So I did nearly one 4 hour block right now. I don’t assume 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 probably two blocks. However not 4, and definitely not averaging 4 for 78 days in a row which is what Mark did for the file.
