This weeks training consisted of 3 interval session with high intensity intervals. Tuesday's ride was "No Slackers Allowed!" Spinervals that I thought might leave me tired for what I knew was going to be a hard workout on Wednesday, but no.
Wednesday at CC we had a big turnout for Graeme Street, as guest trainer, from Cyclo-core.com, and he did a threshold workout at or above 90% of HRMax. I enjoyed this session a great deal because the intervals were hard and longer than normal without so many rest periods. I feel I need this kind of training more than the shorter bouts to get me to be able to maintain a higher intensity level to get all the way over the hills on group rides without quiting. Once a week in my 4 sessions a week plan will work with two intervals and one aerobic base session. Graeme, as he was last year, was a great help cognitively as well. He helps you mentally as well as physically understand the rigors of cycling. I wish we had two or three more sessions with him. Maybe if we talk to Dan, and all chip in for the live sessions he would come again. Pictures of the session are on Cycling Concepts home page on Facebook.
Brian is coming up to ride indoors with Nick and I today. I have to take Brian to get him his bike that I bought him for Christmas and Graduating fitted. This should be fun. Once we are done, we are planning to go to Nick's to ride in the barn, that should definitely be interesting. Our first indoor training session in Marlborough. Oh boy, riding in Marlborough without the hills....NICE!
