Preparation HIM

 

The original plan today was to head up to Frostavallen and run a 17-18K trail run.

When I woke up it was raining and it was talk about raining this weekend. I decided that I wouldn’t get up there.

Hopefully the weather would stablilize so I could head out on my City Trail Run instead but it didn’t seem too stabilize so I decided that I would bike on my Trainer instead, so glad to have this Trainer.

Looked at the training program and decided to do the following:

Tried to have a higher pace today. Working on being in this aggressive position most of the time but it is tough.

Ate 2 bananas and drank 1 liter water

Need to buy another saddle, it gets uncomfortable after a while even if I have padded bike shorts. I put saddle soap on but I guess I need some more.
