On Tuesday I cycled to work and back taking a slightly different route there incorporating Coventry Road as I think it is a tougher hill than the original way I was going. Probably no steeper but a longer climb which is good for leg endurance. It is a slightly slower start thanks to 2 x pedestrian crossings but other than that the route is fairly comparable.
I came back through Corley and Fillongley which again is a hillier route than bulkington and was pleased that I was slightly quicker than when I did this last time even though it was pee-ing it down and quite windy! So that is encouraging!

Wednesday was Gym day....workout two! Slightly more cardio and an upper body workout. So I did 10 mins on the stepper and 10 mins on the recumbant bike. You can see from the stats that the stepper is a btter cardio workout so I may ditch the bike in favour of the stepper!
