A few of my teammates and I did the Emmett Rd, South Slope, Emmett–Horseshoe Bend loop today. Even though we waited until 11:00 AM to

5×5 Minute VO2s and LT

Outside in Boise

Today was the first time I’ve ridden outside here in Boise, since November. The temperature was in the high 40’s by early afternoon so I

Solid VO2 Workout

I did a nice set of 5×5-minute VO2 intervals today. It didn’t hurt as bad as the last couple times at Level 5. Average power

Microintervals and Tempo

It’s been a while since I’ve done microintervals. Actually, come to think of it I haven’t done them since last winter, so it’s about time

LT, LT, LT

Last few days I’ve been doing back-to-back LT workouts. Monday I did a single 1×20, yesterday 2x20s, and today I did a 1×60. In the

MAP Test Redux

I was feeling frisky this morning so I decided to redo the MAP test I did last week. My warm-up was more in line with

4x5s then an LT

After a nice trip to Saint George, it was back to the rollers today. I rode two hours with three 20-minute intervals. I intentionally did

60-Minute LT

While I didn’t plan to do a 60-minute interval, that’s what I ended up doing today. I just wanted to get in some LT work

Shoveling and VO2s

We received yet more snow over the past 24 hours. I estimate it to be another 6″. It took Heather and me almost an hour

More 3x20s

Did another set of 3x20s today. Power was better than Saturday’s set. I need to remind myself it’s still only December, but so far I’m

3x20s

I did three, 20-minute LT intervals today. It took a while for me to warm up so the first interval wasn’t so great, but the

Incremental Progress

Solid set of 5×5 VO2 intervals followed by an hour of tempo. Interval wattage was slightly better than my Thanksgiving VO2s. It’s nice to see

Thanksgiving VO2s
