Jumping Back – Bionicoldguy

Since yesterday at noon I have been on antibiotics for bacterial infection and previous experience should feel me quickly. I mean the symptoms I reported in my Last post. It turned out that he didn’t feel better last Monday, but by then he was quite sure what it was, so I sent the doctor. On the same day he sent me for the test and we got the results on Wednesday. This is brisk for the medical system today, it may take weeks to get to a specialist, but fortunately I did not have to see it personally and responds very quickly to the news.

/* Tmi alerts

The next paragraph may be TMI about health problems for some, so do not hesitate and skip.

It turned out to be a repetition urinary tract infection I returned in 2021. Since then, I had no problems with this area of ​​anatomy because of a I underwent the procedure in 2022. After this round of the infection is thrown away in a few days, I will follow my doctor (urologist) to find out what’s wrong. It is possible that one or more clips installed in Urolift The procedure was returned, which can be determined in the subsequent minimally invasive procedure. Alternatively I could undergo a slightly more involved procedure as Turp It could be done, which would be more permanent. We’ll see what my urologist thinks. Que sera, sera.

/* END TMI CAUTION

It was a week when he doesn’t feel 100%now. During this time, for most of the days I managed to make easy rides for 30 minutes, with one short session of strength training for lower and upper bodies, which is fine to maintain strength in a short period. Soon I will feel good enough to start time to increase time. But browsing through such things always forces me to reconsider things. I was doing too hard. I talked about it Polarized training in the past but my favorite interpretation is Clarence Bass’s The rule of my thumb “I walk and sprint, I do nothing among them”. For him, it is projected into brisk walks for most days, a short but intense strength training 1 day and a short but intense cardio another. In my case, it should be easy for most days a little longer, accompanied by occasional short intense training days (strength training and intervals and sprints on the bike). This is what I always start with. But over time, I wandered by pushing the pace for easy days or extending what should be short intense days. Time to reset.

Especially I have to remember that the main purpose of longer easier rides is relaxation. This is illustrated in this in a fun way YouTube I found the “bike to escape” on the channel:

Discussion about easy cycling for relaxation is fun and scenery in the Netherlands is beautiful and Dutch cycling infrastructure amazing. But “Bloom where you have planted”, I find a similar relaxation on cycling paths or quieter roads near me.
