It's been a long time since my last blog entry and I really need to become more disciplined in writing more frequently, I am following my training programme almost to the T (there has to be some flexibility) logging all my rides plus all the data that goes with it and all my food on calorieking.com.au so I am sure I can find those few extra minutes to add some posts.Enough of that now, back to

The Tour is over, the visitors have left and it has been back to training for the last few weeks. I am currently in week 6 of my new annual training plan that I have designed using Joe Friels training Bible. I did the suggested lactate threshold test about 2 weeks ago and was suprised that my threshold was about 10 bpm more then I had assumed. The hours are long but because of the drop in

I was forced to take a week off the bike with flu and started riding again last Sunday. After doing some research while ill I have decided to go back to doing some very easy base building for the next 5 weeks before I start some hard training again. So far I have done 3 rides this week where the majority of the work is done in Zone 1 and 2, (Joel Friel) that is between 120 and 139 bmp for me. So

About ten days ago I started getting a sore throat but thought it would pass. It didn't and after my ride on Saturday it got worse and after going through all the symptoms of the Flu I am finally starting to feel better today although I still have a leaky nostril. I did some research over the last few days on weather I should have HTFU and did some rides, here are some of the responses from a

Went for a good solid ride into the city Yesterday after taking a couple days off from the 160ks on Sunday. Today woke up with a bit of flu so gave it a skip and feel oh so guilty. We always want to train and then feel bad when we take a break. Rest is important so try and put the guilt away and carry on when you can.The above photo was taken on the centenial bikepath just outside Brisbane, I

Living in a world of where we want (and are often able to get it at a price) instant gratification it is easy to sometimes lose motivation when we seem to be stagnating. The difference between whether we move forward from this point or not is how quickly we can get motivated again. There are a number of ways to get yourself focused again to start training but I find that going back and looking at

I am going to start the first post by thanking the person who coined the name of the blog; not sure who you are but I saw it somewhere not too long ago and it seems to encompass cycling in a nutshell for me: Have fun don't fall. Thank You.It sounds so simple when you say H.F.D.F and brings back memories of riding down the road on my BMX after school with a gang of friends with no helmets or
