Cycling - trainer (gym) 1:25:03 [3] **** 23.0 mi (3:42 / mi)
ahr:134 max:155

2 spin ladders - go up by 5 rpm every 10 seconds from 90-130 and then back down from 130 - 90 rpm - that's 1. repeat.

set 1:
10X 3 min - 1 minute rest between each...

odd : increase rpm every minute from 95 - 105-115 give or take - try to only go down one or two gears
even : increase gear by 2 every minute - try and not decrease rpm by more than 5 each minute

(note: the first minute should be below FTP - about 70%, the second minute should be close to 90% FTP and the last minute of each of these intervals should be hard to maintain (about 9/10 effort) - over 100%FTP


set 2: hills: can you do hills with your achilles? If not let me know...

2x 6 min hill as: last 15 sec of each minute, accelerate to pass someone. then settle back into steady climb.

3 min easy spin between sets.

set 3: 5x 20 sec max power while keeping rpm above 95, 1:40 rest
cool down - for as long as you need or can.

belt on: 15 min steady run

10 AM

Cycling - Time Trial bike 1:57:26 [3] *** 36.0 mi (3:16 / mi) +277m 3:11 / mi
ahr:128 max:160

2x 20 min at 90-95% FTP at some point during the 2 hour ride.

Strong headwind on the 2nd interval.
I was probably going too hard at times and not hard enough at times.

FTP on the Road is different than on the trainer. Hard to hold steady watts with rolling terrain. Tried my best to hold 216-240 watts. This was tough, particularly on 2nd interval (which was also uphill and headwind).

Saturday May 5, 2018 #

Run - Track 1:27:00 [5] **** 10.0 mi (8:42 / mi)
ahr:150 max:170

warm up 20 min.

do 5 min of stretching, leg swings, high knees, bum kicks etc.

Main set: 20 min time trial pace (so see how far you can get in the 20 min). Or, if you'd rather go by distance, do a 5km hard run for time.

Then you are going to run 10 min easy.

Then go right into a 10 min (or 2.5km) hard effort run - this should be a good effort but not time trial pace because if you did the 5km correctly, you likely couldn't hold that pace for another 2.5km...do the best you can.

Then 5 min easy.

Finally - you are going to finish with 3x 1 min on 1 min off - again, the on is best pace you can hold for the whole min. don't go so hard that you have to slow down by the end.

10 min cool down
