Coach says …

I have acquired a coach: primarily because I find it easier to get going on things if I know I will be checking in with someone about it later. Otherwise, I procrastinate – not badly enough to fail, but I would like to do more than just survive LEL2017, and I would like to improve my cycling generally.

So, coaching it is. The first session was general discussion – starting to map out what needs to happen, what logistics to think about etc.

I’ve started training to ride London-Edinburgh-London in 2017: posts here will be about training, about logistics, about kit and all the rest of it.

I’ve been cycling seriously for about four years; this training is to build on that and see what I can achieve when I work for it – previous riding has just been ‘riding’ and limited serious training.
