It was a disappointing start to the day.A text from The Fit One outlining the truth about road conditions which prompted Bigman to consult with Ironman. The result was a cancelled training run. As Ironman has stated in his update, a broken arm at this stage would scupper all hope of recovery in time for the Cape Epic in under 12 weeks.
Bigman did a reckie on the web to find a leisure centre which was open. Cowdenbeath was the target for a couple of hours hard graft and to get the heart pumping and the shed some of the Christmas excess.
20 minutes on the step machine with an average target heart rate of 150 bpm formed the warm up. Next up came a 30 minute run continuing with the average target heart rate of 150 bpm. A few weights in between to work on the core before moving onto the bike 45 minutes set a a stiff resistance. The first 30 minutes were target 150 bpm with the dial turned up for the last 10 minutes and a lung busting 170 bph. Day 3 and the ascend shaped like a sombrero was in the mind of Bigman as he forced the pedals around another cycle.
It took some amount of paper towels to clean the litres of fluid shed on the bike.
A few more weights for wind down and it was done. A good 150 minute workout and another session planned for tomorrow.
Whilst the Christmas scene in Dunfermline is pretty, it is not good for the training
