Have you ever been to the gym and seen people on the bikes or treadmills reading magazines or books? I always hated those people (except you of course if you are one of those people... then I just snorted mildly!!)... I mean how can you read and exercise at the same time?? I am always too busy puffing to consider reading. And wouldn't the book get sweaty? And if it didn't aren't you being slack??
Someone I work with suggested that I could read while riding when I was saying how I was having trouble fitting training into my schedule. Again I snorted. Told him it was not possible.
Anyway yesterday I decided to give it a try... since I really needed to train and I had some documents to review... Now obviously this was on the TdF trainer rather than on the road...
Anyhoo... it appears that I was wrong. Goodness me that tasted bitter!!
I did 20km in 55 minutes whilst reading! Now I will acknowledge that is not my fastest time... but it is still good training... and I did not obsess about the time or speed or quite frankly anything else during my ride. And the best part was that even BAD Wendy was happy with this approach!!
BTW, 73.2km in three days!! Hooray for me!!
Later Alligator!
