Shouldn’t have had those cookies yesterday, but overall happy with the progress given first time actively riding a bike since teen years (17 years ago).
Long term goal of improving fitness and maybe body accepting the torture that is direction changes to take up football again.
Also loosely aiming for 4 W/kg with a spring weight goal of 78 kg (184cm), so will see what the next 4 months of first indoor training season concludes with.
