A massive thanks to all at FCCUK. My total now stands at over £2000! And you have contributed a staggering quarter of that total! Only 3 days to go and I am all set, it would be too late if I wasn’t mind Just hoping the rain stays away. My original target was £1000 and I was amazed to have surpassed that and raised it to £1500. Now I am over that too and so am seeing if I can make £3000 as a final amount. Doing this ride has been good at keeping me focused on my weight loss too, but I have also learnt a lot about juggling weight loss with nutrition and intense training. The conclusion is that it is all too easy to over or under eat when you are exercising more than 20 hours a week. In the build up to this ride I have had to revise my target weekly weight loss down considerably. If I lost too much I would soon find that I had to lower my training intensity, as the energy stores were too low. If i maintained the intensity my health would soon suffer and resting pulse rate starts to climb, as does blood pressure. So my next long ride will not be until September where I should be within reach of my final October target. That gives me a good 3 months just concentrating on weight loss. If you are having trouble sleeping you can always track my progress on my blog, it is linked on my just giving page. Thanks again not just for your donations but also the support I have had from everyone here. John

How'd you get on, bockers?

This may be old skool but was considered the best way of determining recovery ro onset of ilness 20 years ago, about the time commercial heart rate monitors became affordable. Anything more than 5 beats above the norm indicated lack of recovery or start of ilness. It serves me well and I rarely get ill or overtrained unless i ignore the reading
