I have been putting more time in on the trainer lately, for a couple reasons. First, the weather hasn't been great. Second, time has been short with both school and part time work. Lastly, I am getting over a cold, so my time is best spent indoors right now. I have a great workout I've been doing that my friend Mike sent me and I have been modifying it depending on the day to suit my training needs.
Power intervals- cadence greater than 105 rpms
3 minutes on max power, 3 minutes off, , 7 reps for 21 min total effort at max, 1.5 hrs total with 30 minutes warmup and 20 minutes cool down.
What's great about this is that 3 minutes is pretty easy to hammer out, even at max intensity. And 3 minutes is just enough recovery time. And the interval is short enough to not let your mind wander too much.
I like these for preparing for breakaway training, chases, and last lap lead outs.
Best, Coach Brian
