Well it has been 24 days off the mountain bike, 17 days off the road bike, and 15 days off the trainer and still counting. With my knee slowly getting better (almost there), I have had some time off now. I am really keen to get back on and put in some good riding. During my time off I have been doing some preparing.
Next month I have decided to step out and put my body in the hands of a coach and really work on my base fitness for the nationals and then extend that base for the Worlds. It is exciting stuff, but something that is going to take allot of work on my part. Usually I just go about my training trying to fit in what I can. But I know with a coach I am going to have to fit in what he says and make it work.
At the moment I should have a power meter in the mail, with some pretty cool software. Having a power meter is pretty much a requirement of my coach he like’s to work of figures (which is a good thing). This software will allow me to check out nearly every possible detail of me and my bike ride and log it all. All the logged data can then be downloaded so I can run it through the program for some pretty graphical displays. Before I start with my coach I am planning on putting myself through some testing, so my coach will have all the information he needs to set me up with a good program.
I really can’t wait to get back out there and start working towards the goals ahead of me. But I have to be patient to get my knee right. I also know that it will be a while till I have a break off the bike so really I might as well enjoy it while I can, even if it is forced.
