Trying to continue the routine of exercise, any exercise, just something that my brain doesn’t have an aversion to, I got the turbo trainer and bike out again. My choice of music this time, everything my way to make things comfortable… I began to turn the pedals.
There was an instant recognition in my quads from the previous time: a dull ache straight away. I pushed through and kept the cranks turning feeling my heart rate sky-rocket and my breathing go out of control. Sweat flowing I looked down at the computer – only 3 minutes in and I felt like I couldn’t continue. I dropped gear after gear.
I stopped twice momentarily during the 30 minutes and the experience was nasty… previously I’d felt much better. Perhaps it was too much too soon. I was spinning much too fast. It’s in the past now though.
