Today’s schedule had me doing a lactate threshold test. Fun, fun stuff. Ok, easy enough I guess. A nice 20 minute warm up followed by 3 shorts bursts of rpms designed to get the heart rate up to par.
Then came the 20 minutes of all out effort. To be honest, I think I could have gone a bit harder but I wanted to keep everything as steady as possible. Race pace is a bit different for everyone. I am used to going at a long steady state vs sprinting. Hopefully, this will be enough quality data for coach to be able to do something with.
After the race pace effort, there was a nice follow up with a 40 minute cool down. Pretty simple stuff. I find this chart a little amusing. You can see every time I stand up to stretch out on the rollers. It seems like every 5 minutes ish or so I need to stand up to let blood flow back in and get feeling back….
On deck for tomorrow?? You guessed it, more snow. They are expecting 6-10 inches of the white powdery stuff. Someone tell me why I live in New England.
