  • This is the key to the success of this first day.

Sunday

  • This is a continuation of yesterday's efforts, and you should be pretty sore and tired from the very beginning.
  • Make sure to start the Run  early for the work to have the desired effect.

Run : - 1:00

  • The goal here is simple:
  • Don't quit! You'll likely feel plenty beat up after yesterday's higher intensity run, so don't be surprised when it takes you a while to get into it today.
  • Big difference: Today you are only interested in maintaining 75% intensity throughout the run, so keep the pressure off and get into it gradually.

Bike : - 0:45

  • This is an extension of the aerobic effort on the Bike go at it right away and keep the intensity in control. 
  • 15:00 easy spinning - use a gearing pyramid to get into it gradually
