After this rest week, I'll start incorporating 2 workouts a week with high intensity. Still not a big volume of high intensity, as only 45-60 minutes high intensity for each workout, but I should start to build some speed. I'm not losing the weight like I was hoping, but I feel like I am getting stronger and my last tempo workout was the best thus far @ 321W for 80 minutes and a 169bpm HR average. 5 1/2 weeks until the first test of the season, Frostbite Time Trial, so we're inching closer to the season.
It's still really cold now although we're getting more light. It's probably dark at 5:30pm now, but the high is still in the low-mid 40s. Another month or so of 40ish highs during the day and then we'll be over the hump.
Low-mid 40s? Waaah. Try getting in decent outdoor training up here.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I remember training when I was living in Eagle-Vail. I spent a lot of time indoors in that little apartment. Not so fun. Glad to be able to ride every weekend outside now. :)
