Tomorrow I will go and try out biking shoes. I have not been able to choose any yet because there are so many choices. But where I will do the bikefit later have biking shoes and the brand that I am after &#8211; Shimano.<\/p>\n<p>There was biking on the schedule but since I have not had a bikefit yet I decided to book Spinning tonite. I have tried something new &#8211; <em><strong>SpinningHIT<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a while since I was at a spinning class last time. New bikes. Figure out how I could lower the saddle. Brought water and a towel with me.<\/p>\n<p>New now was that during the Spinning in front of us was a screen with a road \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>It was an interesting class, we had tabata like Spinning where we were working 4 minutes and then rest. Different variations.<\/p>\n<p>Two times we had 8x20s with 10 min rest between where I was sitting every other and standing every other.<\/p>\n<p>This could be an option but mainly I will sit on my Trainer at home after I have been at the bikefit. Then later I will head out on the roads.<\/p>\n<p>I was breathless afterwards<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Short Run<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>On the training schedule I am suppose to run 60 minutes distance run and 45 minutes hill. Since I am already a runner I will run what I have planned but because of this schedule I changed tonites 5K scheduled run to a bit longer run, turned out to be 6.5K.<\/p>\n<p>A bit windy but nice to be able to run most of the run in a wool long sleeve, I had my fleece on from the beginning and gloves and hat, it got to be too hot so I removed fleece, gloves and hat. Then later the fleece went back on again because it got a bit cold but then it got off again.<\/p>\n<p>Nice to run the whole run without have to stop and walk. OK pace<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/results_190403.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8158\" src=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/results_190403-300x125.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/results_190403-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/results_190403-768x321.png 768w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/results_190403-1024x428.png 1024w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/results_190403-624x261.png 624w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/results_190403.png 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Very likely that the battery on my pulse belt is old, therefore I have not any registered heart beat and other data but will fix it this week.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend I will run my long trail run. Did not make it up to Frostavallen last week but now I AM going to get up there and run my first trail run after my vacation<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Bikefit<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Thursday evening I did my bikefit, you go through different tests to get your bike suited for your body, not just height and length.<\/p>\n<p>I did a full and it was very interesting what measurements were done. I need to get back Monday after work to finalize the bike, the handlebars needed to be adjusted further so I have as comfortable posture during the aggressive riding.<\/p>\n<p>Friday after work I brought out the Trainer that I will put my bike on for indoor training, I will spend a lot of time here, many long bike rides.<\/p>\n<p>Friday nite it was time for one of my favorite exercises &#8211; <b><i>PowerYoga 2<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Very windy when I biked to the sports center.<\/p>\n<p>Today it was focus on the hips.<\/p>\n<p>Doing the Crow pose I could lift for just a few seconds \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0better than nothing<\/p>\n<p>Tonite I had good balance and could put both feet above the knees during the Tree pose<\/p>\n<p>Finally I was able to lift from the Elephant pose, surprised that I was able to do it on the left side. Felt very heavy first but then I just gave it a try<\/p>\n<p>Last training this week was finally a longer trail run. So nice to be back around Frostavallen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4BA597B7-4B43-40E7-9F6E-D0333EEA7397.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8166\" src=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4BA597B7-4B43-40E7-9F6E-D0333EEA7397-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4BA597B7-4B43-40E7-9F6E-D0333EEA7397-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4BA597B7-4B43-40E7-9F6E-D0333EEA7397-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4BA597B7-4B43-40E7-9F6E-D0333EEA7397-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4BA597B7-4B43-40E7-9F6E-D0333EEA7397-624x468.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ended up with the distance 17.19K, average pace: 8.25 min\/k, total time: 2:24\u201943h and then a 4.22K run back to the train station, average pace: 8.36 min\/k (a run\/walk run on asphalt), total time: 36\u201914.4 min<\/p>\n<p>Next will I will continue with the bikefit Monday and hopefully I can test my triathlon bike on my Trainer Monday evening and next week will be some swimming too.<\/p>\n<p>Weight report Monday April 1:<br \/>\n(start weight first week of preparation)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/7F497DD4-9360-48D3-889F-DF6D9EDEDEE1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8167\" src=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/7F497DD4-9360-48D3-889F-DF6D9EDEDEE1-280x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/7F497DD4-9360-48D3-889F-DF6D9EDEDEE1-280x300.jpeg 280w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/7F497DD4-9360-48D3-889F-DF6D9EDEDEE1-768x822.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/7F497DD4-9360-48D3-889F-DF6D9EDEDEE1-624x668.jpeg 624w, https:\/\/gabbychallenge.glundh.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/7F497DD4-9360-48D3-889F-DF6D9EDEDEE1.jpeg 827w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These extra kilos are going to get off for sure, cannot wait to see some major progress soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#1 Preparation for my first Half Ironman starts this week.
