Test Drive of "Ride Your Way Lean" by Selene Yeager

[Possegal]

I'd like to try this too, though am too overwhelmed with life right now. First I will start with deciding if I want to buy the book, or start down the electronic reader path. I'll be following along with this thread though. Thanks for starting it!

(sometimes I think I make life harder than I need to)

Selene is my fav inspirational athlete- she is amazing- down to earth and "real"...her blog is online and in bicycling magazine:

Good luck to all you ladies with this! If I remember correctly, the best part of this book (and all her writing) is the focus on having fun!

I love to have the book in hand and a highlighter ready. I have already highlighted some of the best parts and important info.

I started with the electronic version, but found it hard to read the training plan tables on my e-reader. Sooo, ended up buying a hard copy of the book too.

So how many days a week to you ride/train/or cross train with this plan?
Just curious. My problem is fitting in both biking and running

[Possegal]

Well your comments have helped with one decision - I'll go for the hard copy! Thanks.

[Shellyrides]

You ride 6 days a week. Some days shorter then others.

Well I have been doing all the rides. Watching what I eat and my weight went up 8 lbs! As I really had not been riding much and my legs are sooooo sore. I am hoping this is just water weight from the increased work outs.

ok, I just downloaded the book. I am large, soft and unmotivated right now! I promise to set my bike on the trainer and get started by tomorrow! I'll need the push ladies!

Ok I am reading the book and my bike is on the trainer. Baby steps!

I'm in!
Just bought my bike trainer yesterday, and ordered the book tonight.
I'm good with being lean, I have no desire to be "skinny".

good luck- Amen to that sentiment- there are days I think if I have one more anorexic patient I am going to personally burn Hollywood....

I'd love to get outside but it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. It's also hovering around 40 deg. Brrr It should warm up on Sat and I WILL ride outside then!


side note grrrr...someone took my yogurt from the fridge at work. That and PMS could get someone hurt LOL

Hang in there we are cheering for you !!- It may help to try to get outside ASAP... my take on biking (skiing, kayaking etc...) for fitness is that it is SO FUN you become addicted and would do it even if it wasn't good for your health and weight (: When I am stuck inside I think about my fav trails for motivation (: Another trick might be videos of places you want to ride in the future for that kick...(:
