Sunday - Recovery / Rest

It was pretty much a busy week. Mostly unscheduled exercise/training. My body is still recovering from yesterday and the day before. Luckily today I have some work to do early in the morning, so I missed out on my morning group ride. So after work and breakfast, I slept, lunch and then slept again.

I've started joining group 5:30 at the stadium for their bicycle ride. I've joined them 3X and so far 'ketinggalan saja' on the way back. Most of the time the speed is betweem 35k/h to 40k/h and the speed can even reach to 50++. Walaupun ketinggalan, semangat tetap diteruskan, if not how am I going to improve and be as good as them. If compared to Sofian, Ahmad, GD and Ali, I'm no 5.

I've also started my speed run training. I need to get back my speed. With improve speed and endurance, then I can improve my time whatever the distance.

Keep on training......................................
