Falling off the bike...figuratively

So this past week has been somewhat interesting in that I have not spent every day putting in sometime on the bike to keep the legs up. Finding that motivation to hop onto the bike, load up something to watch and then spend an hour or two and just spin is difficult.  So where does that motivation come from? Well for me , it came in the form of a very white space.
 That very white space would be my training peaks calendar showing that I have not done any running, nor have I done anything other than coming for the daily visits to the gym. Now being able to track information about your workout can be amazing for helping keep you track with your goals.




Kel's top tips for indoor training
1) Plan in advance - when you're going to work out, what you're going to do, stuff like that. Here is a cliche but true proverb; "fail to plan, plan to fail"
2) Keep track - what you're doing, how much, how long, how you felt, how you feel, essentially keep a       training log
3) Stuff that goes BOOM - Finding movies, stuff to watch, or just something to keep the boredom at bay while you tirelessly spinning away on a bike going nowhere.

So with that it is now goodbye from school and time to get back on the bike.

~Cheers
