In my last post I commended those who are still riding their bicycles in this time of bad weather and darkness. Sometimes I wish I could be one of you. There are days that are bicycle riding freindly. If could just quite my day job.
I'm not slacking however; I'm embracing my indoor season with excitement and exuberance. On my rollers I have been training hard. Working on perfecting my pedal stroke. I was watching some Eddy Merckx videos on you tube the other night. He had an excellent pedal stroke. Nice, easy, relaxed, strong, no wonder he was so fast. Thats what I'm striving for a pedal stroke like Eddy's. I've also been working on intervals. Short intervals of 30 seconds to 1 minute as hard as I can to build anaerobic capacity. Then longer intervals of 3 to 5 minutes building up endurance. Other times I'm spinning at high rpm to get the lungs working. Motivation is high. I look forward to my work out. I have some new music play list too. I try to pick music with tempos that will match the tempo I want to do on the bike. I'm having a great start to my indoor season.
