Hi guys
Thought it was about time I introduced myself. I'm Rich Smith the apparent fitness fanatic. It is true that I am a fitness instructor and a personal trainer but I'm no way, never a fitness fanatic. I am however a complete loon for agreeing to do this I think.
Having recently joined the local Tri club I thought it would be a good idea the use the advanced spin cycle sessions to help get me up to speed. But tonight's session was a complete killer starting with a 20min seated hill climb session (basically ramp up the resistance to the max and keep pedaling until your quads scream and explode). Followed by a 25min interval sprint session where whats left of your quads and indeed the rest of your legs are supposed to go as fast as they can for short sustained periods (which feel like an eternity).
Still though Elaine Scott and myself all managed the full session, though one of us wimped out on the last sprint (mentioning no names). And as we waved goodbye to Scott after the session he reliably informed us that he was "going into the gym now to do 10k on the rower" All I can say to this is that the lads got heart...........And is borderline psychotic.
Funnily enough Helen managed to get conveniently stuck in Wakefield (clever girl, wish I had too). Still I'm sure we'll all be fine when we get to the mountains in Scotland followed by the Pennines (i think it might just kill me lol)
Hope you are all well.
Rich Smith
TOP BLOGGING! Me and Rich Fairhurst did miss out on the spinning but only because we were picking up Joyce! No, not my Nan, my shiny new (second hand!) road bike. Photos to follow...
ReplyDeleteDo you think I should name my bike? If so any ideas as to what?
ReplyDeleteYours and Elaine's bikes definitely need naming! I've got Joyce, Rich has got the mighty John Ryan and Scott is playing with the idea of Penny (provided he gets a bike!). It has to sound funny when you say it out loud so when we're trying to get up those mountains in Scotland we're all shouting out random names.
