Saturday

Bike : - 1:30

  • This is a shorter ride than usual, and you'll likely feel the urge to boost the intensity significantly.
  • However, you should keep your HR intensity under 75% through a bulk of the ride, focusing on feeling strong through the finish.

  • 20:00 easy spinning, using a gearing pyramid of 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, 6:00
  • 2 sets of the following (27:00 per set), rotating through continuously:

  • Just a quick, low intensity Run to go through the transition ... keep your HR under 75% and make sure to walk a bit afterward to make sure you've cooled down completely.

Daily total > 1:50

Week > to date > 8:05


Sunday

Run : - 0:50

  • A shorter effort that will be the only Run  of the day.
  • You can mix up your rhythm and cadence by doing the following: Every 10:00, throw in a 30 second "burst", where you release any tension in your upper body while rapidly increasing your foot turnover speed.
  • These little bursts of speed should be done in a relaxed fashion ...- probably sounds like a strange contradiction, but it's really important to be able to increase your speed in a controlled fashion.
  • Be sure to finish with a complete Cool down .

Bike : - 0:30

  • Following today's Run with a low intensity ride will aid in recovery and keep you feeling rejuvinated during this recuperative period.
