and i am done in :oops: only managed 7 miles :oops:
i did the glasgow to edinburgh pedal fro scotland 51 miles in 2hr 45m 2 weeks ago but hadn't been out since,today is as windy as hell and i couldn't believe how shot i was after only 7 miles :oops: is this normal after 2 weeks off???
also i was riding alone and the motivation was low,when riding alone what do you guys use to motivate yourself?

Cheers

I train better on my own so I always ride alone, I see guys out cycling in two's and three's and they are sitting up chatting away, hardly breaking a sweat, I prefere to get my head down and ride intervals.

My motivation is that I am out on my bike, I am gutted if for some reason i.e. injury or weather stops me riding, I love being in the saddle getting the miles in.

As for your 7 miles.....................have you considered taking up knitting

You said 'run', so you went for a run? A 7 mile run is nothing to sniff at.

i was on the cider all day yesterday at the pub,so i think that had something to do with it,also it went straight after my work [postman] my legs were a wee bit sore from my shift,just want to get back in the swing of things,do you guys go every day or every other day?
