To log, or not to log.
13 miles on the rollers last night - very sweaty. I tried the 20/40 reps again for about half an hour, then a couple of minutes warm down before my battery gave up on the Garmin. Luckily it saved the ride, so I was able to upload it, it would be terrible if it lost it! I mean, my stats would look bad. Funny how I am terrified about not keeping my stats up to date. Back in the 80s I used an A4 chart with pencilled lines showing the year's dates and entered daily mileage with monthly totals. No spreadsheets back then, and definitely no GPS to keep track! That was when I kept reminding myself the old adage of 'easiest person to kid is yourself' when putting done the daily miles. There's no cheating nowadays, and we are spoilt for choice with GarminConnect, Strava, RunKeeper and a host of other training logs, not forgetting 'Fetcheveryone.com of course! I found a synchronisation website a few days ago that would synch Strava, Runkeeper and Garmin. Not sure if it would help, but they all show slightly different views of the same data which is no bad thing. This probably all sounds a bit geeky, but remember, "Speak with Data" If you don't know what you are doing, you can't improve what you are doing.
