It is now more than eight weeks since I wrote down my New Year’s resolutions.

When Bradley Wiggins crossed the finish line of the Tour de France in Paris this year, his victory marked the culmination of three weeks of effort that those of us who aren’t professional cyclists can only begin to imagine. The statistics tell their own story: Wiggins covered 3,500 kilometres in a little over 87 hours at an average speed of nearly 40 kilometres per hour. On his way around France he climbed 38,440 metres, which is equivalent to climbing Mont Blanc, from sea level, about eight times. Mind-boggling, not to say lung-busting, stuff.
