This week for me has been an easier recovery week after a big week last week….in keeping with my intuitive approach to exercise. A couple of easy mountain bike rides, a couple of light runs and a sprint session yesterday. And finally…after weeks of howling onshore winds, no swell and 17C water temperature… today clear blue skies, easterly swell, light offshore winds, no red weed and water temperature a balmy 23C! With good nutrition, frequent movement everyday, strength train

So how #didyougooutandplay this weekend?

You know what is like as we get older, you wake up with sore muscles, stiff joints, crook neck or just too tired from watching the tennis last night. In the past I would have pushed and pushed myself with “consistency” being the keyword. Not any more. These days I take a much much intuitive approach to my exercise, listen to how my body feels and give myself plenty of rest and recovery. Making time to play whenever I can. So today was an easy early morning ride …ride with wil

Gearing up for an early morning ride #didyougooutandplay today? For me as an early riser, its the best time of the day for a bit of exercise – an easy mountain bike ride at low heart rate aerobic workout (maximum heart rate 180 – my age, ie for me 180 – 46 = maximum heart rate 134 beats per minute) to gradually keep building my base fitness and a bit of time to myself. To think about yesterday or to plan the day today or just to think about nothing but the ride…. where its ju

My last two months of training has been focused on building my aerobic fitness for paddling, running and riding. This means strictly keeping my heart rate at or below my
