Hi TheEd,
Bike saddle is fine by cycle shop guide given when bought bike back in July. Not sure whether you are familiar with the heel test? Not sure why hamstrings were tight, dont think its the bike, might just be down to lack of exercise and stretching.
As for the holiday, might have to wait till next April! How about you?
Managed a half hour easy run y/day, felt OK - running on low energy levels still, need a break from work me thinks. Got this Fri off, however the DIY is still calling. Its been the been the most pressured period I've ever experienced in my working life this last 6 weeks, at work and at home with the DIY.
Looking forward to the new year to break through. Had more trouble getting head down last night, prob 1am. Had a two day training course today and y/day - v.buzzed out. Going to try and have a relaxing evening, however I thinks this is the problem; I'm not unwinding properly. Its starting to make me wonder about how I'm living my life at the moment. Just gotta keep on keeping on!
Might cycle to work tomorrow as I enjoy it so much - might get out for a run at lunch, nice and slow and around the X-country route, need to get a real sweat on - I always find it relaxing, been missing getting out at lunchtimes this last few weeks. I think running in the evening is no-no for me - too much energy, to near bed.
Do you experience other runners with this problem of exercising in the evenings?
Cheers,
D
