103km outdoor ride
3hrs 32mins
For some bizarre reason, Strava thinks I only rode for 3hrs 12mins and has me at 32.2kmh average 
Check out the photos 
I was blowing out of my ass trying to keep to 30kmh. Think I managed 28-29 in the end.
Less beers to be consumed tonight.
Winter Solstice.
Shortest Day = Longest Ride 
Trying to stay with a group does help with the boredom but usually means going faster than planned.
is tomorrow
Yeah - I know.
Hence the āless beers to be consumed tonightā comment 
ah - I assumed you were thinking it was today
I made a start on the garage re-arrangement, then had the bright idea of sweeping the yard without gloves. chilly!
30 minute spin class.
Feeling a bit off (PCR test on its way), but output and HR were fine.
Actually made it to the gym early for a bit of rowing and some weights, Iāll probably suffer for that tomorrow but kept it fairly light. Quite a decent drop in strength especially upper body. Hardly a surprise my Zwift sprints are so weak as I was about 35KG down on the leg press, although I could have done a bit more if Iād wanted to risk DOMS.
Then hopped on the wattbike for a quick Zwift race.
Your asthma still bad GB?
Anyone use GCN training videos? Iāve been using them for over a year and theyāre pretty good tbf. Some good banter between the presenters too. I know thereās lots of other stuff out there but with the GCN crew it sort of feels personal
Cold morning today -5.5C, but itās actually lovely - sun shining, clear blue sky and everything is covered in frost 
9.6km run. Climbing gym this evening.
You know what, today is the first day iāve noticed a step change improvement, thanks for asking.
Iām not going to do anything silly, will just try to tick over for the next few days. Thereās a reasonable chance my trip to Wales between Xmas and NY will now be cancelled, so i may have an unexpected couple of days to utilise. Might be able to sneak out for a long morning ride on one of the days.
Glad youāre feeling an improvement today. Enjoy being able to breath properly or better. Had asthma since childhood, so I understand the struggles and frustration when it influences sport.
Errr, yeah. So. About that.
A 40 minute race because I couldnāt be bothered to just pootle around solo on zwift is taking it easy right?
What was that comment about learning for the future 
Did you get any points? Canāt have you sneaking up on me as well 
I very much doubt it. I was like 60/96.
Stuck with the main group all the way to the last 1km, which was my aim (well original aim was to stick for 1st lap).
Donāt think my ipad/Internet was rendering properly though as I think a group went off the front, but I never saw them on screen or on the map. Just noticed when I surged to the front of the pack instead of being in position 1-3 Iād be 20 odd. Weird.
Ha! In my comment before I also wanted to write enjoy the extra energy that comes with being able to breath properly, but thought better of it. It seems you did that anyway
Realised I needed to get back to lifting weights yesterday.
Didnāt go mental.
Just 2 sets on the legs - curls and leg press - not too much weight.
Tried to run this morningā¦.
Inside of my thighs are a bit sore from yesterday, and the shoulder area.
