Any course, intervals/rest ratio. Hills, flats, small or large ring, group or solo ride, or road, mountain bike, or trainer/rollers. This is your day to simply put in the time, enjoy it, and go by your instinct/feel. Use HRM or don't, this is a creative.
Comments and Definitions
Kick (Regular) - regular kickboard kick or kick on back with hands over head, fingers locked.
Pull Drill - Focus will be on learning to 'catch' the water with your forearm and pull yourself through the water. If you feel your lats (the muscles under your arm pits that go down the side of your back) engage, then you are starting to get it. If your shoulders are tired, then you are still using too much shoulder and not enough lats.
