I hate the cold

Well that's the second week of training in the bank and I'm sat with my feet up enjoying a rest day.

Due to the weather I've done more than my fair share of turbo work this week and it doesn't get any less boring. Sufferfest training films help with the boredom and the pain and so did watching last years Paris Roubaix especially when you spice it up with a flat out spin every 10km the pros ride.

One thing I have discovered that adds a bit of fun to turbo work is using Speedplay pedals - huge cleats, puddle of sweat and you can probably guess the rest.

This weeks training follows what us now becoming my routine. I have a rest day today (Monday) and Friday, Wednesday is 45 minute turbo session across HRZ 1 to 3, Thursday is a 45 minute turbo session of Russian steps to build up my cadence, Saturday is 2 hours of hill repeats and Sunday is a 3 hour endurance ride.

Weight wise it's dropping off and so are the inches - my jeans I got at new year are no longer snug.

So that's what happened in week 2 - role on week 3.
