Having set up the Turbo Trainer with my solo bike, both of us had a session this morning, about 40 minutes each steady cycling after breakfast.
It was killing two birds with one stone really, Joules wanted to know how she would get on early after breakfast, as well as how she was feeling cycling. Positive answers to both we're pleased to report! Tomorrow's session will tell how we are at riding two days running, although we're only talking about short periods yet. It will increase!
The biggest problem with TT is boredom. Staying in the same place all the time. Yes we have a good view of the garden from the conservatory, but the weather was poor this morning so even the birds were taking cover. One solution we are trying at the moment is the radio, so Aled Jones on Radio 2 accompanied us today. It does help, honest!
The plan is to increase the length of the runs on the bike, maybe twice a day when we can, and slowly introduce periods of greater effort. The radio is good for this - you can have the equivalent of a sprint for the length of a song - just don't pick something like Stairway to Heaven!
That's it for now. More progress reports to follow!
