Was out on my first “real” bike ride after the long break. Boy am I out of shape !!! Ok, it was quite windy but I can’t remember it being this hard riding the 30Km… Well got an average speed of 28.4Km/h and I think it’s not that bad considering that it’s 4 weeks since I did the full route.
Tine was ready to run again today, so we did 24 minutes together in her pace and then I went out on my own 7960 meters. I was a little slower than last Tuesday so I ended with a speed of 4:57 minutes/Km but as always I’m very happy everytime I break the 5:00 time.
Ok after almost 4 weeks without riding the bicycle due to rainy weather I finally got a chance for a ride.
As I havn’t driven the bike for a long time I decided to just roll nice and easy. To get even more out of the ride and the nice weather I took my camera with me. The plan was to take some pictures along my 30Km route so you can see why I love riding this route. Unfortunately the nice weather didn’t hold for long. Actually the sun disappeared more or less as I got outside and after 15Km of riding big black clouds were coming way too close so I did a shortcut home before the rain started.
So here are some pictures from the first 15Km of my 30Km route. I wished the sun had been out as pictures always look greater with sun but I hope you can get an idea of how pretty the nature is. There are more pictures here if you’re interested.
As last week I went running in park today. This is to get used to a harder route than the one I normally run, as the park is much more up and downhill.
Tine didn’t feel like running today so I did a warm-up lap on my own before my 3 laps.
As it’s my recovery week I had to limit my pulse to a max of 170 (last week it was 175). In spite of that I did the 3 rounds (5Km) in almost the same time as last week (it was 0.7 second off) so the average speed was yet again 4:36 minutes/Km.
After doing 24 minutes of running with Tine in her pace, I went out for my 7960 meters which is less than last week as it’s my recovery week.
With the Roskilde Festival ended I didn’t have any problems running in my own speed all the time, as there were no one to zigzag around, and it sure did show up on the speed…. 4:54 minutes/Km !
