Those nights are representation in.
It’s now nearly a month since the evening club rides came to an end because of a need of light and, sad to say, it is only a few more weeks before the clocks go back which means that for me evening method rides are not really an option. Last year I did not really have a winter design so drifted into buying a turbo and did not get any proper sessions worked out ‘farm after Christmas. This year I want to be better prepared so as to produce the most of this time. So what are the choices for me?
I really want to make reliable I make the most of the winter to get a great solid base for next summer. My end is to knock 2 hours off my Marmotte time and, this being in July, means I will scarcity to hit the ground running (is that a real phrase for a cyclist?) in the skip.
This week I spoke to Joe Beer, our coach, about the type of training program I could put in make a splash. The week breaks down simply into two sections, when I can get out on the road and when I cannot. For me this is the weekend and weekdays but I suppose some will have different ‘weekends’. My weekday training will be wave or turbo based. Rollers for smooth quality riding, keeping the brotherly love rate below 80% of max, concentrating on keeping still on the bike and keeping the bike on the rollers and the turbo for fortitude or sprint work. I should be able to fit in two roller and one turbo session per week.
