The week went pretty much as planned. I got in my three weekday trainer rides:
- Tuesday- 2×20 minutes at 90-95% of FTP
- Wednesday- 1×35 minutes at 90% FTP
- Thursday- 1×30 and 1×20 at 85% of FTP
On Saturday I woke up and it was 26 degrees so I rode for 30 minutes inside and then 30 minutes outside once the temp got above freezing. On Sunday I did the usual group ride which was 30 miles at a moderate pace. I’m gettig better at enduring the trainer workouts but I won’t lie, they are kind of boring. Sometimes it is tough to go down to the basement and ride but I am managing to do it. The outdoor rides really help.
The Week Ahead
This week I am planning on mixing things up a bit. I have a few “Spinervals” DVD’s and I plan on doing one of them on Wednesday or Thursday. That should help make things a little more interesting, we’ll see. The weather looks good for the weekend so maybe I can get a little longer ride in on one of those days. I want to get at least 5 hours in this week with 2 hours of sweet spot time. I will back off a little next week because of Christmas. If the weather is OK a few of us may go out for an hour on Christmas to burn some calories so we all can eat more cookies!
