arghhh. I am still cold from today. Today is the official start of 2009, sorry you missed the champagne toast at midnight. As part of every season and year, coach and I start off with a Lactate Threshold Testing in the field. This is not like a lab based test, but consists of a 20 minute time trial like effort, usually up a solid climb to keep pressure on the legs and figure out what they have in them. I was not expecting big numbers today, but managed to produce some really great ones anyway. It sets a solid base to work from for the year.
This weeks training focus will be mostly endurance and basic components of on bike fitness: sustainable strength, cardio-vascular fitness, and maybe some cadence work...nothing fancy: no anaerobic intervals, no cool pyramid schemes to over tax the body...just basic base training to get the legs, lungs, and heart ready for what is sure to be a brutal early season of long steady distance, sustained power intervals, and basic hill strength....I look forward to it.
Thank you sir, may I have another!!
