Cycling Workouts: Discussion/Encouragement/Sharing/Banter

[HLaB]

As some folk will already know its been thunderstorms in the east of England today so I skipped my group ride this morning and fired up TrainNow (TrainerRoad's work out adviser). Just when I was thinking it had dried up nicely and I would make it an outdoors workout and go out and get back before the TdF finish, the skies opened again

. So I watched the TdF and set up the bike on the fixed fork rollers and did the Z2 workout.



It was pretty warm though:




Thankfully (

) it was too sticky for the sweat I was covered in to drip off the body!

Gendarme +3 was in my calendar tonight (2 Blocks of 15 x 30on/20off). A couple of the On’s were through ‘S’ bends or downhill or when I had to give way to traffic but on the whole I’m happy with it. Although I could have done with the intervals being a tad longer to push my MHR over 90%





Kept it at circa 75% after that so I’d get home before dark. A few times I thought about short cuts but I decided to stay on better roads and avoid the Holme level crossing (I was there for 6 trains, 20+ mins last week). I quite pleased with how it went considering it was all into a headwind,
