Tour de Bike: Back on the Saddle Again...

http://tourdebike.blogspot.com/2011/10/back-on-saddle-again.html

Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Back on the Saddle Again. The Losing Lance Project 2.0 is moving right along. Week 7 resulted in my smallest weekly weight loss to. The first time I rode after starting the program I did an 80 minute ride and had to sleep the ride off for a couple of hours. So I’m relegated to doing 1 hour rides. Another might be climbing repeats. There can even be easy recovery rides, but even those rides have a purpose. The key is to plan. I've decided to share the training plan I'm using for...

Tour de Bike: Training Schedule

http://tourdebike.blogspot.com/p/training-schedule.html

I’ll share my weekly training plan for anybody that wants to use it as part of a weight loss program or as part of a conditioning plan. As I've mentioned in some of my posts, I have limited time due to teaching and union obligations as well as the fact that I'm a restricted calorie diet. So for now, my workouts are limited to no more than 1 hour. I believe that short focused workouts can accelerate weight loss, improve your health, and improve your cycling. Week of October 18, 2011.

Tour de Bike: Dropping Lance in Stages

http://tourdebike.blogspot.com/2010/06/dropping-lance-in-stages_25.html

Friday, June 25, 2010. Dropping Lance in Stages. As Operation Losing Lance approaches the end of it’s first week, I want to share my approach to dropping a 7 time Tour de France winner from my body. If I sit here and ponder the loss of 156 lbs., The goal seems too big, I mean it’s enormous! I kinda want to go buy a huge bag of potato chips and cry. That would only make things worse, so I’ve broken down the goal into manageable chunks. It’s a Grand Tour! So what’s the strategy going in? Saturday will mark...

Tour de Bike: Losing Lance 2.0 Update

http://tourdebike.blogspot.com/2011/10/losing-lance-20-update.html

Monday, October 31, 2011. Losing Lance 2.0 Update. The last couple of weeks I decided to make an effort on the water front. My daily goal is to drink at least 100 oz a day. Some days have fallen a bit shorter than others. But for the most part I was successful. I actually added the " Alarmed. App to my iPhone and it reminds me every 90 minutes to Drink Water. The result has been pretty impressive: over the two weeks of drinking at least 100 oz. of water I've lost 12 lbs. My stages look as follows:. The L...

Tour de Bike: October 2009

http://tourdebike.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 6, 2009. Even my pretty ambitious riding schedule has been modified in the latter part of the year. The Tour de Scottsdale and the MS Bay to Bay rides are out of the picture. As you can see on the graph, the latter part of July, August and September were spent mostly riding conference chairs instead of “ The Girl. If I needed evidence of how a couple of months of haphazard riding can really diminish one’s conditioning, the Rosarito-Ensenada. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Week Full of Love.
