I have been against antibiotics for bacterial infection since yesterday afternoon, and I should quickly feel better from previous experiences. I refer to the symptoms that I have reported in my last post. It turned out that I didn’t feel better until last Monday, but until then I was pretty sure what it was, so I sent my doctor. He sent me to a test on the same day and we received the results on Wednesday. This is lively for the medical system these days, it can take weeks for me to enter a specialist, but luckily I didn’t have to see it personally and he reacts very quickly to news.

The next paragraph may be TMI about medical problems for some. So you are welcome to skip it.

This turned out to be recurred Urinary tract infection I had back in 2021. Since then I have had no problems with this area of ​​my anatomy because of A Procedure that I undergone in 2022. After this round of infection was thrown out in a few days, I will follow my doctor (urologist) to find out what went wrong. It is possible or several of the installed clips Urolift The procedure was reversed, which can be determined in a minimally invasive procedure with follow-up. Alternatively, I could go through a slightly more involved procedure as Turp Could be done, which would be more permanent. We will see what my urologist thinks. Que sera, sera.

It was a week in which it was not 100% felt now. During this time I was able to make the most days 30 -minute trips, each with a short session of strength training for the lower and upper body, which is in order for maintaining the strength in a short time like this. I will soon feel good enough to increase time. But when I go through such things, I always have things rethinking. I made too much out of my training. I talked about it polarized training In the past, but my favorite interpretation of it is Clarence Bass’s Rule of thumb “I go and I sprint, I don’t do anything in between”. For him, this means most days at brisk walks, a short but intensive strength training of 1 day and a short but intensive cardio. In my case, I should drive a little longer for the most days, complemented with rare short intensive training days (with strength training, intervals and sprints on the bike). It is that I always start with. But over time, I follow myself by trying to push the pace on simple days or to extend the short intensive days. Time to reset.

I have to keep in mind that the main purpose of the longer lighter trips is relaxation. This is illustrated in an entertaining way in this way YouTube video I found “a bike to escape” on the channel:

The discussion about simple cycling for relaxation is fun and the landscape in the Netherlands is beautiful and the Dutch cycling infrastructure is astonishing. But “bloom where you are planted”, I can find similar relaxation on bike paths or quieter roads near me.
