Another month is gone and I managed to settle into a nice routine. After that little wobbly time during the Festive Season things got better and I think I'm happy with the training that I put in. The cycling and running progression is good (I'm happy with it anyway) and finally I have brough a bit of a system into the training: cycling two times a week and running two times a week. Now, of course sometimes I get derailed from this lovely system here, but I'm doing my best not to let that happen! ;)
Since the weather was absolutely crazy (wind, wind, wind...oh, and more wind) in the last couple of weeks I decided to hit the mountains and get some nice & long XC spins done instead of going out on the road bike in that wind.

Most of these spins are between 2,5 - 3,5 hours long and the pace is kinda nice & steady. The elevation gain is pretty good also, sits around the 1000m every time. Happy with that.
The running is going good also, the distance has reached the top during January. The longest run I've done was just a bit over the 10 km barrier but this is as far as I go with running. I think this is perfectly enough for secondary training, I'm not a runner after all. I will keep running up until the end of this mounth but will stop from the beginning of March.
So, things are good. Feeling good on the bike and while I'm out running. Motivated I am and can't wait for the weather to get better a little bit. I know I wish for too much here, but I would love to loose those legwarmers and winter jackets already! Come on spring, don't let me wait too long!!
