The Workout Of The Day for Tuesday, 9.21.10 – “Two buy…”
Howdy folks,
Well, I’m covered with dirt and I’m completely spent… and I haven’t been on a bicycle in days.
One of the things they don’t tell you about working in the bike industry; if things are going well, you don’t get to ride nearly as much.
Oh well.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m down at Interbike flogging product for the nice folks at Lemond Fitness. We’re showing the new Revolution Trainer off, and it’s pretty damn nice, especially for Cyclocross. No rear wheel needed!
Nice… one less thing to carry to the race.
If you’re coming down to Interbike, stop by and say “Hi.” We’re out at the Outdoor Demo, and will be downstairs in the health and fitness section at the show.
Ok, enough with that. On with the workout.
It’s Tuesday, so we’re doing Two By Twentys, right?
Well… maybe.
If you did the double this weekend, how recovered are you?
It’s still really damn stinking early in the season.
Don’t blow everything for the entire season by over-doing it right as the weather starts to change, inevitably winding up with a cold or flu that knocks you completely out of racing for a month.
Be honest with yourself, and if you’re still feeling the weekend in your legs, take it easy again today. Go for a…
1-2 Hour Moderate Ride…
Get on your bike.
Go ride for an hour.
No hard efforts, but do throw in a couple of moderate ones. By moderate, I mean just that. You can sprint for the town line, but you should be laughing while you do it.
You’re not doing a recovery spin, so you need to put a little bit of gas into the pedals… just don’t go out and kill yourself.
Check out the view, smell the flowers, just do it while you’re putting a little bit of effort into the pedals.
1 notch above a recovery ride.
Make sense?
If you’re feeling great though, and the sequence of workouts has been working for you so far, today is – you guessed it…
Two By Twenty Tuesday…
If you’re feeling up to this type of workout today at all, you’re probably good to do the slightly more intense version, so that’s what’s on the agenda, the…
Two By Twenty Get-Up Style –
Have fun folks,
M
As a PS, just a word of thanks for all the comments and workout suggestions.
I will definitely do my best to answer everybody that drops me a line, and if there are any workouts I’ve got that will help with anyone’s particular problem areas or shortcomings, I will for sure share ’em with ya’all. Keep ’em coming!
