THE CLIMB BACK TO THE TOP.
There are so many factors of fitness; speed, endurance strength and flexibility. Striving for improvement seems, through training makes one a more focuses disciplined and mentally tough as well as fit. Lately I feel like my attributes of fitness are hurting, I suppose the truth hurts. Fitness is all relative as well though and I can still ride a bike for a couple hours a It is really good to be on the horse again.
I suppose the opposite is also true about training and from mental focus discipline and toughness and determination one can create, shall I say forge a mountain of fitness the likes of which could be almost frightening. That is my goal.
Today I did my first moutain bike ride in a month! My back managed pretty well. The stance part was the last time I climbed Massenutten mountain I was in my finest form, crushing some Vo2 max intervals in the big ring up the 1000 ft climb. Today I was in the Granny gear pushing my heart into a level I hadn't been too and it was hard. I can normal "cruise" up the mountain at a high tempo in 14 min today took 17 plus at a higher effort. Today I realized how hard it is to do when out of shape!
It will be a long trip back to my top form but I have the time to do it. I just need some serious man hours wearing each molecule off my tires one by one.
