Last week was the Craft Classic Half Marathon, so this week will be some recovery and getting ready for the next block on intense training.

 

September 12 to September 18 – 10 Weeks to Race Day!

Monday

This was an off day.

  

Tuesday

Recovery Miles 1.50hrs w/ Fast Pedal 

Nice and easy spin to promote blood circulation.

With in this ride get in 8X 30sec Fast Pedal (high cadence, 120+ RPM). Full recovery between. ** This is not intended to be high stress. Look at this as a cycling drill to improve pedal stroke and cadence.

Should feel very conversational in effort, RPE-5.

I decided to make this an outside ride, was curious to see what a ride at 4:30AM would be like, also I had finished Stranger Things and was not looking forward to 1.5 hours on the trainer.

Results

The ride went very well and I felt great. Much of the ride was very dark and could just barely see the white lines on the edge of the road. Think I need a good headlamp mainly for safety but also to see where I am going.

Had to cut the ride a bit short to make suer I was back in time to get everyone ready for school. 

Was supposed to get in the 8 by 30 sec intervals at 120rpm.  I sort of accomplished this, The

 What I Learned.

 

The red tail light I have, only seemed to last about 1 hour or so. Need to try it on a lower setting or maybe see about getting one that lasts longer

Definately need a head light. and maybe even a second one that can go on a helmet.
