I suck at updating this.
I got a set of "rollers" eleven days ago and they look like this...my bike "sits" on top of that and both wheels spin simultaneously so it feels like you're riding outdoors. But riding a bike on them is harder than it looks. It's like learning how to ride a bike all over again. I still need more work/training on them before I can ride in an open space without some kind of side barriers or assistance, but I'm doing better than day one. I got rollers because they worked on technique, balance and performance (something that I need to work on). I got this specific brand because the center of each roller is slightly concaved to help the tires stay centered and not going off the sides.
I also started doing yoga last week. I found a youtube channel from someone who does classes...yoga for cyclists. He has a website and a yoga studio in Santa Cruz, CA. Currently, he doesn't have any classes at his studio due to quarantine, so he has been doing live streaming for facebook and youtube. He has a schedule for his live streaming on his website. He also records his live streaming for the people who wish the follow along, but not during the time slot for his live streaming. Since he is unable to have in-person classes at his studio, he is taking donations. (on paypal paypal.me/gabrielreesebenjamin on Venmo @Gabriel-Benjamin-3). I decided to follow his youtube channel because I'm a cyclist. Also, many of the yoga poses that cyclists do also can be applied for runners. I've only done two videos, twice, so far. I think last week I was doing a little too much...four days of running, four days of yoga and almost everyday, except one day, for riding (outdoors and roller training). I tried to go out for a ride (outdoors), but I was feeling very unmotivated and did a slightly less than five miles which was very unlike me to do such a very short ride. I need to cut back...maybe on the roller training?
