Well… it’s been a while since my last post!\u00a0 In short, I took much of January off from serious training with only a couple of sessions.\u00a0 Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been back into things.\u00a0 I’ve been putting in a good deal of time on the bike on a set of rollers.\u00a0 I’m managing to get aero on the rollers now, albeit slightly wobbly.<\/p>\n
After considering some of the courses for the year (Austria and possibly Monaco…) I’ve decided to get my chainset changed out to a compact (going from 54\/42 to 50\/34). This will help with hills but will reduce the maximum speed for a given cadence. Not a bad trade off.\u00a0 So the bike will now have compact chainset of 50\/34 with a cassette with 12-23T. Oh, the compact I’ve decided on is the Shimano Ultegra SL compact.<\/p>\n
Back to training… well no running outdoors and only a little on the treadmill. Cycling has been pretty much only on the bike on the rollers. Swimming- well not much as the last few times I’ve been to the pool for a swim its been closed. Sigh.\u00a0 Defo time to think about a new gym\/pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
