This morning was a trip to Ride Inside.
The Session: Ride Inside - first session. Ride there and back for total 2.5hrs. Strength efforts
To be specific the set I did was 5 x 7min strength efforts (50-60rpm) with 3 min recovery. Within the 7min effort each minute at the 40sec mark remaining in the same gearing increase the cadence to above 80rpm for 20sec.
The Stats Review:
Session Reflections:
- Its getting a little warmer.....ah...no...a little more humid!
- I have been ensuring that I work to the same resistance on the trainer each week I have been doing these strength sets. I have been finding that I am able to go to a higher gearing each week and still be able to maintain the target cadence.
- I find the 20sec burst stimulate the muscle and prevent the legs getting too use to the same resistance....stimulates those fast twitch muscles.
- Legs are starting to feel a lot stronger...they are not fatiguing as quickly..but we still have a little way to go.
