I have started cycling -I am only doing a couple of 3-4 undulating runs a day with no side effects (apart from the sore botty) I am reasonably fit as i have no muscle ache. How do I progress? Do I maintain what i'm doing or as its obviously not a challenge physically how may miles would you recommend daily given that I cant move for hills so any route would present an incline (yikes) or a smalll rapid hill. BTW -its not a chore I love it although it is for fitness reasons. Any sage tips from seasoned cyclists would be appreciated (mountain bike) O sorry 50 fit and female if that helps !!
Thanks both of you -I do find early evenings less frantic traffic wise so will continue with that and a gel seat -wow -that sounds brilliant !! It sure would beat the bath sponge I was gonna tape on lol.
If you are interested in getting fitter then buy yourself a heart rate monitor and use it to gauge your heart rate and the number of calories you are burning.
Oneeyedvic that is amazing, and it would be really interesting to hear exactly how you did it. ie diet? calorie counting, how often did you exercise? etc
