I've been cycling Central Park for about 18 months now
wondering if I am over doing it. I had posted that the
period was 18 months. It was actually 18 weeks.
Here's the stats: Age: 53 Ht: 5' 11"
Weight: 180 lbs
Total Weeks: 18
26 Miles/Wk Average
Total Time: 32 Hours
Average Distance: 19.5 Miles
Average Speed: 17.7 MPH
The winter in New York gets brutal in January so I missed a
few weeks.
Now that spring is almost here I would like to increase
training. I lift weights three days on one day off with
some warm-up
and stretching.If I circle the park twice the distance
increases to about
24.6 miles including the warm-up ride from lower
Manhattan to Central Park along the Hudson River Park. I
intend to bike every other day weather permitting. I
guess once
around on easy days and twice around on hard days. Or should
I go for three times around?
I bought a copy of The Cyclist's Training Bible. It is
helpful but dated. The weather turns cold and rainy. I
probably need to get a trainer.
Any comments or suggestions?
Regards
