    • Day 65

    BIKE
    • Time: 1h 25m
    • Muscular Endurance
    • WU: 15' warm up - nice smooth spinning
    • MS: Then shift into a the big chain ring and into a gear that allows you to spin at about 65-70 RPMs. You will spin 3x15 minutes in this gear - HR should be mid-high Z2 - recovery will be 5' easy between sets - you will probably see HR drift into Z3 - keep the cadence up - this is where you build strength.
    • CD: 10'
    RUN
    • Time: 30m
    • Speed/Efficiency
    • 30' run with 8x30" strides. These are best if done on a slight downhill on a dirt path. Warm up for at least 10' before the first stride. For your recovery, you can walk back to the starting point.
    • Strides are quick bursts that are as fast as 5k pace. You are looking to get in about 45 left foot strikes per 26-28". Stretch when done and add in Core 1, 2 or 3.
