Gym v bike

Yes it's January that month of guilt for over indulging although most of my Xmas was work then illness! Did do BM 3 at new year but had the crappest race ever, just wasn't feeling it in the wet conditions. I stupidly rode my finally fixed hardtail which was a silly mistake should've stuck to my singlespeed and at least suffered for a good reason.....So my love for the bike has left for January, guess I'm so fed up with any riding time being struck by biblical rain every time! Instead I am focusing on my gym and running gains, and have seen some real progress...
Yes folks I have joined the big bad dark world of Les Mills GRIT and its scary, based on HIIT or Tabata training it's tough to the point of vomit inducing, and surprisingly addictive. If I looked back a year ago I wouldn't have been able todo this as it involves a lot of jumping and knee work but the PT has really pushed me forward and has resulted in more knee bend to the point of 20kg pump squats :)
What I love about my gym is the support of my fellow gym bunnies and my PT they just keep pushing me forwards especially when nights and shifts do get in the way, and I have to admit I even might enjoy running now....just a question of how to get to 10k runs. Anyhoo time to sign off before boring you all too much while I decide on what targets for this year, one is defo a flat tummy I don't ask for much do I?!
