last night's workout:
25 minute warm-up
3x
2mins @ your 3-hour pace
4mins @ your 2-hour pace
6mins @ your 1-hour pace
8mins @ a pace you can only hold for 8mins
cool down
i followed this workout with a quick 5k run and my legs are paying for it this morning. my ride to work today was low resistance/high cadence to work out the lactic acid and to get my legs moving, and i'll head to the gym at lunch to do some stretching.
with the race season in full swing, my workouts are now focusing on higher intensities with fewer breaks, rather than lower intensities for longer periods with some high intensity bursts thrown in.
i'm heading to the cottage tonight and will be riding the gravenhurst duathlon (july 18) bike course for the first time.
