Longer Morning Experience – BionicOldGuy

I’ve modified my schedule so Monday is my longest experience of the week. That is the experience I’ll be ramping up every week till I do a metric century a while later this month (considered one of two Strava challenges I signed up for in March). Yesterday’s experience (on Strava right here) was 41 miles in slightly below 3 hours half-hour, leaving me pleasantly drained. I had meant this to be my first “Beaumont block” of the yr, however needed to lower it brief as a result of I needed to repair a flat. I acquired this time period from Mark Beaumont’s description of his around the world biking file (The Man Who Cycled the World).

He achieved his superb common each day mileage by driving 4 blocks of 4 hours every day, with a brief break in between, after which one longer each day break. So I did nearly one 4 hour block in the present day. I don’t suppose I might have been able to get again on the bike and do one other block after a brief break, that’s one thing I’d should work as much as. I can see myself doing presumably two blocks. However not 4, and definitely not averaging 4 for 78 days in a row which is what Mark did for the file.
