@Ed: Yeah the elliptical trainer is the ski kind of thing. Didn't know it wrecked your back. The thing i like about them is that you can do sprint intervals very easily. I much prefer HIIT that SS. I need to get some rollers and jump on with a geared bike.
@STE5: Yep, this is entirely sensible, to such an extent that I will have difficulty following it. I will try to do this with a bit of other work thrown in for bad measure
@RPM: My nitrition is currently shocking. I used to be very good but I have come away from being stuck in a five or six month long self destruct mode. The track cycling is among a number of things I am currently doing to sort myself out.
I know it's too late now. I had bike issues and injury which stunted my fantastic plan to regain normality. I'll get in a few gentle rides and good sleep.
I'm glad you said the first session won't be too taxing. I don't think I am very unfit and I'm quitting smoking this week so this should help somewhat. I'm really looking forward to it despite these worries. I've still got to build up my track bike this week but that won't take me long.
For the gentle rides I'll be doing, I will ride fixed and geared. Is this a good idea? I haven't really ridden fixed since I moved from London in Feb so I'm a bit out of practice but I can't imagine I will have lost the feeling and the control for track stands etc. Do tracks let you keep your bikes there? It would make my life so much easier if I could just keep it there and grab it for sessions. That way I could go so much more often while I'm down in surrey.
