If you're really unfit you might give yourself a cardiac arrest before you get a chance to get fit. 2. If you're doing too much you might get cheesed off and just pack it in. 3. If neither of above happen then I think you'll find you adapt to it pretty quicky and you're fitness level will jump substantially in a short space of time and you'll really enjoy it. Crawl before you can walk but please, please, plesase KEEP CYCLING. Ron. |

Joined: 15 Feb 2009 Posts: 4 Bike: My Profile | HI Dudley, Agree, think you are doing brilliantly. I started pretty much like you but now have steadily increased to 40+ miles. I take it easy at a modest pace and always check my route carefully to ensure there are no surprises. Ie: No energy sapping hill climbs at the end of my ride if I don't need one! I think the best advise I can give is 1. ride at YOUR pace within yourself and 2. as Ron said, KEEP cycling! No better way of getting fit in my opinion. My fitness levels have rocketed since I started cycling again. you can feel when you get better. Keep going Dudley! |
