Christian Ainley my day to day

  It was out for an afternoon walk the weather held of while I was out, so I managed to stay dry. I collected my WeWards then up Rowley path, I know it’s a bit repetitive but it’s nice can quiet and I’m able to listen to my book rather than being by the side of a busy road. I managed to get a good 7 miles in and through a good chunk of the new book. It was only 3 golf balls and one range ball which I threw back on the course.  It was a nice walk and it was good to get out and have some fresh air. Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

 It’s a return to the gym today and it’s leg day. I started off with the cross trainer on intervals. 1.55km and 416 calories over 30mins. On to hack squats and the normal 57kg up to 67kg.  On to leg curls and 50kg up to 57kg. Leg extensions and the sands as curls.  Leg press and 50kg up to 80kg. It was good session all in all.  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  I woke up early and finished off unit 7 and submitted it for marking, it was health and safety based but only 6 questions. Only one more unit to go before the course is complete, I’m not sure what I’ll do to fill the hole that’s left.  After some house chores it was out for a walk around the estate again to collect today’s WeWards and then up Rowley path. It was a lot less muddy today but the wind had a nasty chill. I did manage to get 6 balls for the spring stock. I managed to get in just as the rain hit hard.  It’s been a nice day in all, I’m pleased with my course progress and getting out. Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  I woke up early and did a little bit of course work I’m nearly at the end, I’m currently working on unit 7 of 8. As ER is on Netflix I had that playing in the background.  After pancakes because it is shrove Tuesday and the start of lent for Christians, dare you give up something for 40 days until Easter Sunday ? It was to the gym.  Rowing to start and I know I normally add a picture of the summery screen but the sensor on the only decent rowing machine was playing up. It was 30mins and 384 calories.  On to dead lifts and adding 20kg to a bar then another 10kg to finish off.  Oh to machine rows and starting with 50kg going up to 57kg Lat pull downs and starting with 50kg again and going up to 57kg it was low reps to finish as I struggled.  Reverse flys to finish and starting with 42.5kg going up to 57kg it was a struggle agin and finish.  It was a good session and slightly higher weight this week.  Have fun stay safe👍🏼

 Sunday afternoon was a walk around the estate followed by Rowley footpath after cutting in to it via Pinewood hotel. It was a nice walk and I finished of my audio book and started a new one, more to come soon.  Only two golf balls but the weather has been absolutely disgusting and I’m sure most of the golf course is flooded and hard to get round. Monday I had intended to go to the gym after work but instead it was finishing off unit 6 of my course on team leading, It was conflict management and delivering feedback, I managed to finish it off and submit it only two units to go !  It’s been a good couple of days, let’s see what tomorrow brings!  Have fun stay safe 👍🏼

  British cycling has evolved from the millennium to where it is now. it was an underfunded sport that was hard to break into. Slowly this changed and more resources were made available and a management team was put in place to drive success. They based themselves in the Manchester velodrome and recruited the best young riders from around the country.  Steve Cummings entered that program to become an Olympic cyclist for Great Britain, Steve is a great cyclist but by his own admission he’s better suited to long road races rather than punchy Olympic short races on a velodrome. This book covers the start of his career through to his specialty of getting in to the break and riding solo for the win.  With in this book he gives an insight into team sky and team GB as well as the other teams he’s ridden for, he doesn’t hold back an where there were problems he holds his hands up.  It’s a good sporting biography sand if you know an aspiring cyclist then they’ll enjoy it.
