Howdy folks,

Well, here it is… National’s week.

Hopefully you aren’t stuck in bed sick as a dog, as it seems so many are. Blecch.

What you do for workouts this week is pretty darn dependent on when you’re racing, so hey… how about some options?

(Fair warning… I give myself license to contradict the following schedule with newer postings later on in the week.)

To be fair, I probably should have posted this up in the middle of last week, but hey; last week I was the one in the hospital, so I plead extenuating circumstances!

Here we go…

  One Week Before Race – 

Warmup Race, Race simulation outdoors, or The Doppelganger.

6 days before race:

Recovery spin

5 days before race:

Downhill Sprints,  Form Sprints, or 1-2 Hour Moderate Ride

4 days before race:

Slow Roast, or 1/2 a Classic 2×20 or more sprinting.

3 Days before race:

Spin-Ups   or   Form Sprints

2 Days before race:

1-2 Hour Moderate Ride and/or Course Preview or take the day off.

Day before Race:

Can Openers  or Ignition and  Course Preview

Day of Race:

Race. Yer. Ass. Off.

Good luck this week folks, and more postings to come. I’m headed down to Austin on Wednesday, hope to see you there!
