Go at it like that and you might break yourself before the big day.
Most training programs suggest you increase either intensity or duration by 10% a week.
Do a mixture of cardio, core strength work and flexibility. But trying like you are in a Hollywood montage is probably counter productive.

Ha! If only.
From the sounds of it then, my current 30min cycling and 5mins rowing each day is probably fine, with the aim of increasing the resistance/elevation slightly on the cycling every few days.
I really do need to get on the stretching though. Especially now I'm back at a computer instead of climbing in a soft play. Handily pure gym gives you little videos you can watch on your phone for a few "classes", including stretching.

I have a track and BMX day session at Lee valley as a present in 2wks.
It's been forever since I did proper exercise and haven't cycled in anger in years.
Have joined the gym as I won't be able to get on a bike. Currently spinning on the bike to get my legs moving again.
Where would be a good place on here to get suggestions on some sort of fitness program in time to get something out of the Lee valley session? Alternatively if anyone else has a suggestion.
I'm aiming to try and do stretching each day and at least a gym session every other day (but aiming for even a little 15-20m cycle in the gym every day).
Cheers.
