Workout Of The Day for Wednesday, 12/9 – “Last Roast…”
Howdy folks,
Phew… just a couple of days to go…
If you’re following the plan for the week, you did a little bit of intensity yesterday. Hopefully you kept it under control, and you’re feeling good today.
If you overdid it, or you feel spent, take it easy today – go for a 1 hour Moderate Ride.
If you’re feeling pretty good, the workout for today – and again, we’re assuming a race on Saturday- is The Slow Roast –

It sounds crazy, but it works. Give it a try.
If you’ve been following the workouts all season, you already know whether this works for you… if it doesn’t/hasn’t check back through your training logs for the season, and see what you did mid-week the week of your best races.
Do that today instead.
Have fun,
M
The plan for the off season is to do some follow up posts to the C.W.O.T.D., and try to explain some of the science/theory underpinning the workouts we have done this season. You can be sure The Slow Roast will show up when I get around to doing that!

Matt, are you going to propose a transition plan for road season prep? Been off the bike since Sunday and worried about getting too much rest, but also recognize the need to rest the mind…would also like to know your thoughts on weight training. Any insight would be much appreciated!
