Wk25 Training: Hours: 8:50 (Target 7:00). Bike: 123.9km. TSS: 833.
I can tend to be a little all-or-nothing; which can be good, can be bad. What it does mean is that this year I need to get my ducks in a row to ensure that this is an All year and not a Nothing year (like 2008). To that end I decided to kick the year off with 30/30 - 30 minutes cycling per day for 30 days in January (one free pass).

Good to shift a few extra pounds early on and get moving in the right direction - primarily to boost early motivation, but also because the later pounds will be harder to shift.
