I posted recently about starting to ride again to get fitter and I got a lot of very helpful advice.
I would like some more advice please regarding my fitness. So far I have been doing 2-3 miles a day for the last 7 days with one day of 5. I have done a total of 23 miles now and I am quite happy.
However today was the hardest I have ever had, I wanted to do 5 miles but there was no way I could, I had to stop at 2.5 miles.
Am I over doing it by pushing too hard? I have not done any exercise for 15 years really and I am really keen to get fit again. Do I need to take a break for a day or should I keep pushing on a little bit at a time. I dont particularly want to take a break because I dont want to risk breaking the habit if that makes sense. Yesterday I really enjoyed 3 miles but today I struggled.
I am keen to find out what you have to say
