  • What gym you going to Mike?
    It's probably a good idea to have a session with Lee and/or Dave so they can put your form right from the beginning, rather than get into bad habits and have to change.

    A LOT of the info online isn't what you need, the Americans have some slightly different ideas to us.

    Sorry Rob, only just seen the responses on this thread.
    Well I am swimming at this newly reopened centre in Soho.
    The Marshall Street Baths and they have a gym there and it isn't much extra a month to join and there is no fee or monthly contract or any of that bollox so I thought I would give it a go. Mainly just to improve my upper body physique more than anything, like I said, to look harder :) , instead of or as well as swimming for the winter months until the real bike work kicks in. But obviously if I was there I would want to increase muscle mass on my legs. But having read all this I am not so sure now as it seems I could do more harm that good. My commute also takes me up a very steep hill on the way home everyday so maybe I could just do that. I'm so confused :$
    I know if I work harder I can be even faster and fitter than last year, which is my aim. I really enjoy training in the winter when there is noting much to go home for other than shit TV, it's the summer months where you come home and have a bbq and a few beers that I find discipline hard to come by. Thats why I am gointg to start serious training again in November/December, but not all on the bike because I will probably be bored of that by April if I do. Which obviously wouldn't be a good thing
