Subject: Fired up the new trainer last night! Since I'm running Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, I figured saddle time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday (or Saturday if I want to run a brick ) would keep things even and leave Sunday for rest or make-up...
Everything went swimmingly last night except I didn't put anything under the bike to catch the buckets of sweat I didn't consider... oops... I found an article on bicycling.com titled "How to Ride Inside: Indoor Trainer Workout for Cyclists. Sounded like a good place to start. They list 2 basic workouts. One was Speed Intervals and the other was Climbing Bursts. Since this was my maiden voyage, and I'm too dang slow anyways, I opted for Speed.
How does this sound:
Spin easy: 15:00 (warm-up )
Intervals: 1:00 easy gear high cadance/2:00 recover (4 times )
Spin easy: 5:00
Intervals: :30 going all-out/:30 recover (10 times )
Spin easy: 10:00 (cool down )
All I have to say is, WOW! My shirt was soaked, and I felt good!
The suggestion was to do this 2x/week. For my third session I'm plannong on either road time or the climbing workout.
