I applaud you! I am training right now for a 135km in June and it's been only 2 weeks with a personal trainer and it is not so easy (read: I will sweat and hurt some. hihi). But I already see results. Amazing when you compare stats from 1st workout and the one of this afternoon.

135km is already topping everything in my head so I cannot imagine 200km+. I'm trying to target a 22-24km/h range. It is hilly where the challenge will be so I have to do lots of muscle training as well to strengthen my legs to push up on those hills. And generally windy too.

It is fun reading your journey through it out. Congrats!
