Longer (uphill) commute tomorrow

Banked a 30min TRX and weights session today (Monday). Nothing on Sunday (grim weather) and a nice run + lots of walking on Saturday. Fortunately the Saturday outdoor run helped increase my VO2 to 49. Need to continue the outdoor runs to get it back to 50+ (dropped over recent months for all the treadmill runs - doesn't help with the Garmin VO2 calculation).

Tomorrow I am planning a slightly longer Brighton commute - the weather looks good. I might take the gravel bike as I need to head up Ditchling Beacon, to pick up Ditchling Road, so I can pick up an eBay purchase (Brompton travel cover) then back the normal route via Dyke Road and over the Downs.

Looking forward to that commute - decent Z2 workout (and higher up Ditchling Beacon). Then more strength work for Wed/Fri and possibly Peloton/treadmill on Thu/Sat if back to rainy conditions.

Hopefully I can move more outdoors over coming weeks - the mornings are getting a lot lighter.

All good - onwards and upwards
