Well, with the bulk of this week's load coming up, it's time to put the low intensity and easy workouts to the test. First up, the bike on the Computrainer.
For those of you are are inflicted with the "I need to go faster than this" training syndrome and end up pushing your low intensity workouts harder than they should, you need to discipline yourself and just "let go". Forget pacing, forget time, and just let the legs spin like they normally spin and not force the issue. Yes, your workout will be longer in duration, but in the end, if you do it properly, you should finish your workout energetic and not the least bit tired.
And that is what I did here. My Zone 2 workout's (intense aerobic pace) power output on the Computrainer is about 190 Watts. Today, the power output for 20 miles of simulated riding is only 148. Not the least bit tired. And ready for tomorrow's more challenging workouts.
The criticals on the bike ride: Computrainer, first 20 miles of the IMNZ course. Total Time is 1:09:49, Average MPH is 172 MPH, 148 Watts total output.
