Bigman had booked a spin session for tonight and with the trains working in his favour, he wasable to squeeze in an extra 90 minutes in the gym before the Spin class started.
He started with a heart beat raising 30 minutes on the step machine burning off 350 calories whilst watching the top 10 music videos on 4Music. This ws followed by 160 sit ups, which has become the standard count, then a further 20 minutes on the array of weights.
To finish, he 'warmed' up for the spin class with 30 minutes on the bike whilst catching up on Sky Sport news burning a further 350 calories whilst keeping the resistance at a meagre level 10 but maintaining an rpm rate of 90 plus. Ooodles of perspiration splattered over the floor!
And then it was time for the spin routine. A new music repertoire has started. The final tune is perfect music for the Cape Epic Witches Hat stage ascent. It just gets steeper as you add more resistance and just goes on and on and on and on. A bit like the Ironman regaling tales of his trip experience in the New Zealand Ironman.
Today he has returned to the far north, Fort William, home of Shinty and compacy gyms.
Only 36 more days to the start of the Cape Epic and after deducting the 7 days taper and one day off training a week that leaves 24 more training day opportunities.
So far Bigman has done 13 hours training over the last 3 days. A good workout rate for the week so far.
Can he keep it up for teh week?
