Commencing life as a cycling commuter

[ianrauk]

On my third day of the week today and starting to feel the old legs ache and no sure I can do the 4 days I promised myself..

Anyone else take a bit of time to be able to commute 4/5 days a week?

Take it easy if you are just starting or building up to a full 5 day week commute.
No use pushing yourself too hard as you will only start to hate doing it and find it a grind.
Build it up bit by bit.

How long is your commute btw?

Thanks Ian, think I will rest after today and keep to 3 day weeks for a while but might pop out at the weekend for a quick run.

That makes good sense.
It shouldn't take long for you to get to the full 5 days.
The body very quickly adapts.
