I accomplished my month-to-month mileage problem on Strava yesterday. The goal was 600 km, and I completed with 1359 km (843 miles). Correcting for the driving that was carried out on my e-bike (see “” Be aware on e-bikes and recording mileage” right here), which is about 20% of the overall, that is equal to about 1305 km unassisted (810 miles). This put me at 17,530 out of 280,312 who accomplished the problem, or 285 out of 17,533 in my 70-74 age group. It feels good to be within the high 10%. To place issues in perspective, although, I rode lower than 1 / 4 of the overall put in by the chief (6,633 km), and even of the overall put in by the chief in my age group (5802 km). Nonetheless, it is a lifetime PR for me, I don’t suppose I’ve ridden a lot over 600 miles in a month beforehand. With that problem over, I feel I’ll reduce on mileage a bit and give attention to getting just a little quicker on my cruising pace.
The final 3 days of the week went like this. Friday I did a restoration cruise as a result of I had gone exhausting final Thursday. Saturday was a brisker and longer journey of 29 miles, holding my common coronary heart price at 105. Yesterday was one other exhausting day. After a warmup I tried a brand new time trial route I’d ridden on final Thursday. I did higher than Thursday, however solely by 7 seconds over 45 minutes! After that I did some intervals after which a cooldown journey. I’ll take it simple for the following couple of days to get better.
