Windy 5×5’s

That ride on Saturday really kicked my butt! I rested on Sunday and Monday with a couple easy recovery rides, then finally felt good enough

Double Day

This morning I thought I’d try my hand at some Anaerobic Capacity/Level 6 intervals. I’ve never really done any structured L6 work before, I usually

Slammer Road Race

Today was the second race of the George’s Spring Series, affectionately called the “Slammer” due to the proximity to the Idaho Correctional Facility. The weather

Hardest Ride of the Year

Wouldn’t you know it? After yesterday’s walk in the park, today I put in the hardest training ride since Day One. Now, that’s not counting

Extra Tempo

Since this morning’s time trial was fairly short (even with the warm-up and cool-down), I went out this afternoon to log some more saddle time.

Good LT Workout

Today started out looking like yesterday; overcast and fairly cold. I was hoping that it would warm up later in the day, so I decided

Old Standby: 2×20’s

I got back into my training plan today with a simple 2×20 workout on the trainer. I spent more time than usual in Level 2

Mid-Season Break

Ever since my great ride in Utah last week, I’ve been off the bike; I’ve been taking a mid-season break. I call it “mid” season

Outside Tempo

The weather was great today so I went for an outside ride with a couple of my teammates, Ted and Ben. I spun on the

Recovery Week

Since Wednesday’s workout, I’ve only done short rides. Partly due to the weather, but also be because I haven’t been feeling that great. On Thursday

Decent Workout

Wow, Saturday’s ride took more out of me than I thought it would! I was dragging the last few days so I’ve only been putting

VO2 Pain

Talk about cold, this morning it was a frigid 8°F! So obviously it was another trainer ride for me today. My resting HR was back

Getting the Miles In

It was unseasonably warm in the Treasure Valley again today. The snow and cold is supposed to return tomorrow, with highs in the 20’s predicted

Two in a Row

It was warm and dry again today, so I was able to do a second outdoor ride in a row. Even though it was 50°F

Outside Ride!

Yesterday I did a short, easy ride with a couple test pushes at threshold; both only two minutes each. During the ride, my legs felt

VO2 to Tempo

Today was another trainer ride. I wanted to do a VO2 workout, but I should have realized that wasn’t such a good idea considering how
