So after everybody was helpful with my TT comments i thought id put a few of my training sessions on here for people to perhaps help me with......feel free to say your piece and im happy for constructive criticism.
So Saturday (after turbo and a track session Friday) i do a swim and a ride.
Yesterday the swim was short but pretty intense with 2 100m TT's immediately followed by 4 50's flat out....
The ride was as follows
20mins building HR to 160
1 hard/1easy
2hard/2 easy
3hard/3 easy
4 hard/ 4easy
15 mins on....5easy x4 with a 'race pace mentality)....i just assumed that meant hard!!
So off i go on the new war horse. For the reps going in one direction i sat in the small chain ring and span my legs at 98-105. Average speed for the 15mins was 24.9 with a HR of 162
One the way back down (slight decline). I sat in the big chain ring and stats were 168HR speed 26.1 and cadence 90-92
I felt better spinning my legs than pushing the big gear.....is that me just not wanting to 'push'?
Much happier on the TT stayed on the drops throughout all the reps
feel free to add comments
So i find a road which is 8.5 stretch slightly uphill in one direction
