The Climb speaks volumes

It is only 63 more training days until the start of the rest period and packing up the bike into its competitve case.

Bigman was back in the Gym today for another 120 minute workout before the weekly fives game.

A warm up on the treadmill for 30 minutes at a heart beat rate of 150bpm burnt away 650 calories whilst watching Ski Sunday and Beach Rescue. The machines in Cowdenbeath are only 4 weeks old and absolutely superb.

Next it as a session on the weights to build the core.

And then the session on the bike. 45 minutes at 90 revs per minute at level 11 holding a steady heart rate of 150bpm. After 25 minutes the level was increased to level 16, the heart rate moved to a steady 165bpm and the legs began to scream. The chart music was selected to provide a beat whilst he climbed ' the witches hat' on stage 3 of the Cape Epic 2010 . After 13 minutes of steady climbing the number one called The Climb sung by X Factor Joe came on. The words are wholly appropriate for Witch Hat Mountain stage.

Miley Cyrus - The Climb Lyrics
I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going And I,
I got to be strong Just keep pushing on,

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb


Keep on moving
Keep climbing Keep the faith baby
It’s all about It’s all about The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
