No problems at all. Alchemy was very easy for me thanks to my Hearthfire garden and greenhouse. I highly recommend picking up that DLC if you don't have it already. I grew a stock of a couple hundred apiece of Creep Cluster, Mora Tapinella, and Scaly Pholiota. I used the Hjaalmarch (Morthal) House which requires a very short quest to purchase. Every couple of days between questing/training/exploring, I could harvest 30 of each ingredient. After 6-8 harvests, you should have enough to max out Alchemy in a single sitting. Then you can replace those plants with the ones required for the useful potions (i.e., Canis Root, Junper Berries, Blue Mountain Flower, and Wheat).
Conjuration levels kind of slowly with the Bound Bow, but I picked up the Bound Sword and conjured it a couple times in every dungeon purely to level Conjuration more quickly. It'll get to 50+ in no time if you do that.
Archery also levels very quickly with the Bound Bow — due to its high base DR (highest of any bow in the game!) and fast rate of fire (fastest of any bow in the game!) you hit 70+ Archery very quickly. Angi, at her near Falkreath, can offer 6 free levels of Achery training if needed....
Block and Heavy Armor do level rather slowly, but I compensated for that by joining the Companions (you just need to talk to Kodlak in the basement, no need to do any quests). Then I paid for training in those two skills from Farkas and Njada Stone-Arm. My homebrewed potions kept a ton of money in my pocket to pay for this training.
If you want to grind this character to level 30+ you could do it in a day or two. Though I was a bit more lax, preferring to level more by exploring and questing, and only training/grinding when it was convenient. I still got into the mid-thirtes very quickly though, and never felt like it was repetitive or boring as I progressed.
