Sunday Muddy Sunday

So the Sunday session starts religiously outside Niall's hopuse at 7:15am every Sunday, with a brief discussion of the session hgeld by email or messenger in the week, followed by a route dispensed the night before. Myself, Niall, Kenny and Paul all started off towards Luton, then back on the Nikky Line heading towards Redbourne, before cutting into Beesonend Lane, heading back toward West Common, Crabtree Lane and finally home. A muddy 10.78 miles, made all the more difficult by yesterday's hill & sprint session. I struggled to maintain the pace at times, but attribute this to sore calf muscles.



So returning to Niall's, I head staright for Fitness First, St. Albans, to continue with a combo of cross-training and stepping at a high intensity, before an hour of strength training commences. Three hours solid and I am cooked, heading home for toast beans and eggs - the perfect balance for recovery and to aid tonight's cycling session in St. Albans.

All I can say is at least it wasn't raining, and it was amazingly bright early this morning. Is spring on it's way? hmmm....
