Hi my name is Nick Cowie, I am a retired web developer who last blogged over 15 years ago. I am a competitive cyclist who has been racing for 12 years, definitely not a great cyclist but I enjoy it and need cycling and other physical activities to keep my healthy and active in my later years.
Originally I was going to create a training diary on YouTube, but video editing for me is time consuming, so I chose what I know, a blog even though it is so 2008. That may change in the future.
Why a training diary, I need to be accountable. Set out my plans for the week, month, year ahead and stick to it or at least be able to explain what happen.
Why now, I have been retired for two years and while I have made attempts to structure my training, I have not been that successful. Partial due to injuries, the most recent be heel bursitis, which kept me from training for three months.
