It looked beautiful outside today with crystal blue skies and bright sunshine. But looks can be deceiving; it only got up to 45°F. Fortunately it

Sprints

I rode outside and did sprints today. There was a kicking tailwind on the way out and it’s always fun to sprint with a tailwind!

LT with Cadence Change-up

I felt better today once I started riding than I did yesterday. It helps that I rode during lunch–I always seem to have more energy

Mixing it Up

Did a 30-minute LT and then some L6 efforts. Power was pretty good for as little as I’ve been training. This was my best 4x30sec

Tech-Support Cutting into Training

After a good workout on Monday, the rest of the work-week lacked any quality workouts. Instead I was in front of a computer most of

Wimpier 2×20’s

Reversing the CTL Trend

My Chronic Training Load (CTL) has stalled and even regressed a bit since taking my new job with Microsoft, but I finally feel like I’m

Weekend LT Work

With my new job I’m having a hard time getting in quality workouts during the week so I’m shooting for two good ones this weekend.

Happy New Year!

Started off the New Year with the standard workout: 2x20s. I was able to produce decent wattage for both. Let’s see if I can continue
